About Elizabeth
Elizabeth "Liz" Gray is a licensed social worker with ten years of practice. She works in Kansas and focuses on helping people through anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and relationship challenges. Liz emphasizes client autonomy and starts by centering each person’s goals.
She uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and to build motivation at a comfortable pace. Liz also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding. Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches shape how she listens and builds trust.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Kansas State University and a Master of Social Work from the University of Kansas. Across clinical settings she has supported people facing trauma, domestic violence, eating and body-image concerns, and family-related stress.
In sessions she focuses on clear, practical steps and on validating the person’s experience. She helps people work on boundaries, communication, coping with life changes, and career-related stress. Therapy can include talking through past attachment experiences and practicing skills for day-to-day life.
Outside of work she has a cat and a French bulldog who sometimes pop into sessions. She prefers a relaxed, go-with-the-flow approach and enjoys hiking in the Rocky Mountains. Liz invites anyone curious about therapy to begin with a short conversation to see if it feels like a good fit.

How her approaches translate to online care
Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what they truly want to change and builds motivation step by step; it is useful for goals around behavior, recovery, or improving daily habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choosing actions that match personal values - it often helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and helps people try new ways of relating and communicating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to goals, try different techniques, and adjust plans based on what feels helpful. This is a collaborative process and the client helps shape which methods are used.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy routines and continue work between appointments. Before booking, confirm the specific session options available for appointments. Many people appreciate the convenience of meeting from their everyday surroundings, the ability to schedule shorter check-ins when needed, and the chance to practice skills in real-life contexts between sessions. -
