About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Anne Perry is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who brings 12 years of clinical practice to clients in New Jersey. She favors cognitive behavioral techniques alongside skills-based approaches to help people identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that interfere with daily functioning.

Background and approach

Her style is practical and direct, focused on measurable progress that improves everyday wellbeing. She works with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders such as bipolar, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, and intimacy-related issues.

Elizabeth also addresses relational patterns like codependency, attachment and abandonment struggles, communication problems, and family difficulties, helping clients untangle how past experiences shape present choices. Her training in dialectical behavior therapy and solution-focused techniques complements CBT by adding emotion regulation skills and goal-oriented strategies.

Elizabeth guides clients toward clearer self-awareness and actionable change, encouraging exploration of life purpose, career concerns, chronic illness impacts, and multicultural considerations. She aims for outcomes that extend beyond symptom relief so people can move toward more resilient, satisfying lives.

Using CBT and Skills-Based Approaches in Online Therapy

Elizabeth integrates cognitive behavioral therapy with dialectical behavior therapy and solution-focused strategies in her online practice. CBT helps clients pinpoint and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, OCD symptoms, and mood disturbances. DBT contributes practical emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills useful for intense emotions, relationship challenges, and patterns like codependency. Solution-focused techniques concentrate on identifying goals and small, achievable steps to move clients toward clearer outcomes.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to weigh their needs, preferences, and goals, and adapts methods over time so treatment remains relevant and client-centered. This partnership helps clarify which combination of techniques is most helpful for the presenting concerns.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular sessions, practice new skills between meetings, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not feasible.
