About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Carrero is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with ten years of experience helping people manage anxiety and life stressors. She speaks English and Spanish and offers straightforward support for common struggles. She aims to create a warm, respectful space where people can talk about what’s hard and find workable steps forward.
She draws on a client-centered approach that keeps the person’s goals at the center of each session. Sessions look different depending on the need - sometimes they focus on skills, sometimes on processing difficult events, and sometimes on setting short-term goals to get through a rough patch.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with individuals, groups, and family-related concerns. That experience informs how she looks at someone’s life context, relationships, and daily routines when planning care. She pays attention to factors such as adoption and foster care history, attachment challenges, cultural background, and caregiving stress.
Elizabeth uses evidence-informed methods like cognitive behavioral tools to address unhelpful thoughts, dialectical strategies to manage strong emotions, and mindfulness to develop moment-to-moment awareness. She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused steps when people want clear, achievable goals. People come to her for a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, parenting strain, relationship stress, anger, and career transitions.
Her work aims to help people build coping skills, reduce overwhelm, and move toward a more balanced daily life.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Elizabeth often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thought patterns that feed anxiety and low mood. CBT sessions typically include practical exercises and homework to try between meetings and work well for problems like panic, worry, and depressive thinking.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT-informed techniques are helpful when strong emotions get in the way of daily life or relationships.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the person about symptoms, goals, and what feels useful, then adjust methods as progress is tracked. That collaborative planning helps shape each session and the overall plan of care.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and text messages support short updates or ongoing check-ins between sessions. These formats make it easier to schedule work around busy days, caregiving duties, or geographic limits while still using the approaches described above.
