About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Carrero greets visitors with a calm, straightforward presence. She aims to help people who are juggling stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, relationship strain, or changes in work and family life. Elizabeth is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW practicing in Connecticut and she speaks both English and Spanish.

Her approach begins with listening. She builds sessions around each person's day-to-day struggles and goals. Conversations focus on practical steps to reduce stress, manage emotions, and improve communication.

Background and approach

Sessions can include short skill practice, problem-solving, and planning for next steps. Elizabeth uses a mix of client-centered ideas, cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. She adapts methods to what each person finds most helpful rather than using a single method for everyone.

That means some weeks focus on changing thought patterns and other weeks on building emotion regulation skills. Her background includes roughly ten years of work in mental health settings. That experience includes individual and group work and attention to issues like trauma, adoption and foster care questions, attachment concerns, and caregiver stress.

She also supports people coping with obsessive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, and self-harm urges. People looking to begin can expect a collaborative, practical tone. Elizabeth aims to make therapy useful and manageable during busy lives.

She works with people who want clear steps and steady support while they navigate difficult changes.

Online support

How clinical approaches translate to online care

Elizabeth commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges by practicing new thinking and coping steps. Mindfulness Therapy involves simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce stress and improve emotion regulation, useful for anger, trauma triggers, and daily overwhelm.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Elizabeth works collaboratively to test methods and adjust them to each person's goals and comfort. Together the client and therapist decide whether to use thought-focused exercises, skills training, or mindfulness practice in future sessions.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or helpful when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging let people check in between sessions, send quick updates, or work through brief exercises without scheduling a full call. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy schedules while keeping the focus on real skills and steady progress.
