About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Anne Perry is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New Jersey with 12 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family concerns, depression, addictions, grief, and life changes. Elizabeth also lists focus on issues like attachment and codependency, trauma and abuse, and mood-related problems such as bipolar conditions.

She uses practical, skills-based therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to create short-term steps and long-term strategies. Sessions include conversations aimed at recognizing patterns and testing different ways of coping.

Elizabeth has particular experience supporting people affected by a loved one’s addiction or mental illness. She tends to address how codependency shows up in relationships, work, and family life. That work often involves clarifying boundaries, improving communication, and reducing people-pleasing behaviors.

Her style is direct and task-oriented, with emphasis on small, concrete changes that reduce distress. She helps clients name self-limiting beliefs and replace them with practical alternatives. Progress is tracked through clear goals and short-term experiments to see what works.

Clients can expect straightforward sessions that focus on daily functioning and relationships. Elizabeth connects therapeutic tools to real-life routines so new skills can fit into a busy home life. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.

How sessions work

How Elizabeth’s approaches translate to online work

Elizabeth draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to guide practical change. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through small experiments and skill practice, which can be used to address anxiety, depression, OCD patterns, and mood challenges. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills useful for intense emotions, relationship strain, and codependency issues.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set concise goals and find immediate steps that reduce stress at home. That method concentrates on what works now and builds brief, achievable plans so adults can test changes between sessions. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative; the therapist and client review goals and try methods that fit the client’s daily life and preferences.

Confirm session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. The therapist will help tailor pacing and homework to suit everyday routines and the challenges of managing relationships and parenting responsibilities.
