About Elizabeth
Elizabeth "Lisa" Burdick uses a client-centered approach to help people sort life’s hard moments. She blends that with practical cognitive behavioral techniques to address stress, anxiety, addiction, mood concerns, and codependency. Lisa is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC, with 20 years of experience working in North Carolina.
She focuses on young adults but works with people of various ages who are facing relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, or changes in career and life direction. Sessions are offered in English and she supports clients from different cultural backgrounds and life situations. Her work also addresses concerns such as ADHD, bipolar disorder, depression, and compassion fatigue.
Lisa adapts her approach to include a person’s spiritual or religious beliefs when helpful. In practice she listens first, then suggests concrete steps to test and change unhelpful thinking or behavior. Mindfulness exercises and solution-focused conversations are used to build coping skills and short-term goals.
She has long experience with substance use and recovery issues and uses motivational interviewing to support change. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, postpartum and pregnancy-related concerns, and communication problems. She also addresses multicultural and veteran-related issues.
Her background includes work in school settings and clinical supervision. To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Elizabeth "Lisa" Burdick uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques that adapt well to online conversations. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a respectful, non-judgmental space, which guides how sessions start and move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors with practical exercises between meetings.She also uses mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing to support change and coping. Mindfulness exercises help ground people in the moment and reduce reactivity. Motivational interviewing helps clarify what someone wants to change and how to take achievable steps. Together these approaches can address stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, codependency, and mood problems in a collaborative way.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to goals and preferences and then suggest strategies to try. Clients and therapist decide together which methods feel most useful and adjust as needed.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during the day, or making it possible to attend when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can adapt homework, mindfulness practices, and behavioral experiments for use between sessions to support ongoing progress.
