About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Anne Perry is an LCSW with 12 years of clinical experience in New Jersey. She uses a direct, practical style to help people make changes that matter in daily life. She works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addictions, and codependency concerns.

Elizabeth draws on straightforward tools to help people untangle patterns that hold them back. She focuses on identifying unhelpful beliefs, reducing reactive thinking, and building clearer boundaries. Sessions aim to produce steps a person can try between meetings.

Her background includes broad clinical experience across mood disorders, trauma and abuse, and co-occurring concerns. That experience informs how she tailors interventions for issues like abandonment, attachment struggles, and chronic health challenges.

People who come for support around grief, intimacy issues, shame, or isolation often work on emotion regulation and practical communication skills. She also addresses career stress, life transitions, and obsessive or compulsive behaviors with problem-focused planning.

Elizabeth helps clients affected by a loved one’s addiction or mental illness to understand codependency and regain agency. Her aim is to move people from surviving to making choices that align with their goals and values.

How CBT, DBT, and Solution-Focused Work Online

Elizabeth uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into manageable parts and teaches practical skills for anxiety, depression, and compulsive patterns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT-style skills can be useful for anger, intense mood swings, and improving relationships through concrete techniques.

Solution-Focused Therapy centers on identifying small, realistic steps that move someone toward their goals. It focuses on strengths and quick, measurable changes people can try between sessions.

Picking the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist discusses goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past, then adjusts methods collaboratively. Clients are invited to give feedback about what feels useful as therapy progresses.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into busy routines, keeps appointments easier to reach, and allows focused check-ins during the week. For some concerns, shorter or more frequent meetings make it easier to practice new skills and maintain progress.
