Elizabeth Carrero, LCSW

Elizabeth Carrero is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who speaks English and Spanish. She focuses on practical support for common problems like anxiety, stress, depression, parenting strain, and relationship concerns. She aims to create a warm, accepting space where people feel heard and understood.

She brings ten years of mental health experience to sessions. That work has included individual and group counseling, and support around trauma, grief, ADHD, and caregiver stress. She pays attention to how life circumstances and family history shape current struggles.

Therapy with her uses clear, straightforward tools. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice thoughts and change unhelpful patterns. She also uses client-centered listening, dialectical behavior ideas for managing strong emotions, and mindfulness methods to build calm and focus.

Sessions are shaped around each person's situation and goals. Elizabeth asks about daily routines, relationships, and what has worked before. Together clients set manageable steps and track small changes over time.

She values a direct but compassionate approach. Whether someone is coping with a big life change, obsessive thoughts, parenting stress, or questions about identity and culture, she works to make therapy practical and relevant. Sessions in Spanish are available for those who prefer that language.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Elizabeth uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with practical alternatives; this approach often helps with anxiety, depression, obsessive behaviors, and stress. She also practices Client-Centered Therapy which emphasizes attentive listening and building a trusting relationship so clients can set their own goals and feel supported while they work through problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are offered to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Elizabeth will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and she will suggest strategies that match those priorities. The treatment plan is collaborative and adjusted as progress is made.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and deeper conversation, phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging allows for ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and other demands.
