About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Carrero is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on family and parenting concerns. She speaks English and Spanish and brings ten years of mental health experience to sessions. Elizabeth aims to make therapy practical and approachable for people feeling stuck or overwhelmed.
She creates a warm, accepting space where clients can talk honestly about their lives. Elizabeth listens for the patterns that connect family history, current stressors, and personal strengths.
Background and approach
Together she and the client set clear goals and try small, doable steps toward change. Her practice blends several methods to fit each person’s needs. She uses client-centered work to follow what matters most to the client.
She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and on dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotional regulation. Elizabeth has supported people facing anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, relationship strain, and attention-related concerns.
She also has experience with adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, autism and Asperger Syndrome, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, codependency, and veteran and armed forces issues. Sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, and she works within a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules based on availability.
How Elizabeth uses therapy methods online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s priorities. In sessions she asks questions, reflects what she hears, and helps clients set goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to shift unhelpful thinking and behaviors. These approaches are useful for anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and everyday problems.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Elizabeth works collaboratively to figure out what fits a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She will suggest methods, try them out, and adjust based on what helps the client make steady progress.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging which make therapy easier to fit into busy family schedules. These options let people connect from home, check in between sessions, and use the mode that feels most comfortable. The flexibility can help families manage time, reduce travel, and maintain continuity of care while working toward their goals.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
