Libby is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC, practicing in North Carolina.
Background and approach
She has twelve years of experience in mental and behavioral health. Her background includes work in inpatient and outpatient settings and with a wide range of concerns and ages. In sessions she uses a collaborative, person-centered stance.
That means she works alongside clients to set clear goals and tries different approaches that match the client's needs. She emphasizes honesty, teamwork, and building a trusting relationship before pushing for change. Her toolbox includes attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused strategies, existential questions about meaning, and mindfulness-based practices.
She keeps things practical and tailored, using whatever helps a particular client make progress. People who choose Libby can expect straightforward conversation and a plan-focused rhythm. She offers therapy by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
To begin, a client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to availability.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current responses. In online sessions this approach helps people notice their patterns and try new relational habits in conversation. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the client's lead; it gives people space to talk through what matters most and to set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related routines.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. She will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That decision is revisited as progress is made so care stays relevant and useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let the therapist and client use visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions work well when video would be difficult or bandwidth is limited. Live chat or texting can be used for brief check-ins, tools practice, or when a shorter, more flexible contact fits a busy schedule. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines while keeping the work focused and practical.
