About Liby
Liby Macip is a licensed professional counselor in Louisiana who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship struggles, and major life changes. She focuses on practical support and steady encouragement so people can take the first steps toward change. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and aim to be a calm place to talk things through.
Liby creates an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. She believes taking the first step toward a happier life takes courage and that therapy should feel collaborative and respectful. Conversations emphasize honest listening and clear next steps.
Her approach blends Client-Centered Therapy with practical strategies from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness methods. That mix helps people notice unhelpful patterns, practice new skills, and build coping tools for day-to-day life. She also draws on elements of dialectical behavior and existential work to address values, meaning, and emotional regulation.
Over four years of practice she has supported people dealing with codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, family-of-origin issues, isolation, and midlife concerns. She also addresses drug and alcohol addiction and mood disorders by focusing on immediate coping strategies and longer-term goals.
Liby encourages straightforward goals and small, manageable changes. She works with each person to set realistic steps and to track progress over time. To begin, prospective clients use the site start process to match and schedule sessions.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes hearing the person first and responding to what matters most to them. It focuses on empathy, acceptance, and letting the client's goals shape each session, which can be helpful for people feeling overwhelmed by life changes or relationship strain.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It offers clear exercises and practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns in daily life.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal communication. Those tools are often useful when strong emotions or impulsive behaviors get in the way of relationships or recovery from addiction.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean focusing on listening and values at first, then adding CBT or DBT skills as needed.
The practical benefits of online sessions include easier scheduling and less travel time, which can help fit therapy into a busy week. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or sessions without being on camera if that helps concentration. Confirm current session options before booking so arrangements match individual needs.
