Elizabeth "Liz" Gray , LSCSW

Elizabeth "Liz" Gray is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) based in Kansas with 10 years of clinical experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Kansas State University in 2013 and completed a Master of Social Work in Clinical Social Work at the University of Kansas in 2016. As an LSCSW she holds an advanced clinical social work credential that authorizes independent therapeutic practice in her state.

Gray works with adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, eating and body-image concerns, relationship and family difficulties, grief, stress, and career-related struggles. She also addresses issues related to abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, codependency, communication and commitment problems, dissociation, domestic violence, and navigating divorce or separation. Her practice emphasizes practical coping skills, boundary setting, improved communication, and rebuilding self-esteem.

Therapeutically she draws on a range of evidence-informed methods to tailor care to each person, honoring client autonomy and pacing work according to individual readiness. She blends approaches such as cognitive behavioral strategies, acceptance and commitment practices, attachment-focused work, client-centered principles, dialectical skills, trauma-focused therapies, narrative and family systems perspectives when appropriate. Gray maintains a laid-back, supportive style and includes small personal details about life outside of work - she has a cat and a French bulldog who may occasionally appear on a video call, and she enjoys hiking in the Rocky Mountains. Her practice begins by identifying client goals and meeting people where they are in their journey.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Elizabeth "Liz" Gray integrates several therapeutic approaches to address emotional and relational concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take manageable steps toward a meaningful life, often reducing avoidance and improving psychological flexibility. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding patterns formed in early relationships and uses that insight to strengthen current bonds and emotional regulation. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a compassionate, nonjudgmental stance where the therapist follows the client’s lead, fostering safety and self-directed growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Gray collaborates with each person to explore which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds. Therapy is presented as a partnership where pacing and priorities align with the client’s comfort and objectives.

Online therapy with Gray is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods, support access from a distance, and allow people to choose the format that best supports their engagement and progress.
