About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Devivo helps people facing strong emotions and big life changes. She offers steady support for stress, anxiety, grief, anger, and depression. Elizabeth is a licensed clinical social worker with 26 years of practice in New York.

She focuses on clear, practical steps to make day-to-day life feel more manageable. In sessions she listens closely and works alongside clients to set achievable goals. Conversations often center on coping strategies, identifying strengths, and learning ways to respond differently to hard moments.

Background and approach

The aim is to build tools that fit each person’s rhythm and responsibilities. Elizabeth draws on many evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape each plan. She tailors her approach to what a person needs right now rather than following one fixed method.

This can mean short-term skills work or a longer exploration of patterns that keep showing up. Her style is warm and straightforward. People can expect a calm space to talk, practical guidance, and steps to try between sessions.

Elizabeth also pays attention to how health or chronic illness can affect emotions and daily routines. She sees therapy as a collaboration. Clients help set the pace, and she offers clear options to try.

The focus is on steady progress and on finding ways to move forward after loss, stress, or major life transitions.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Elizabeth lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Online support

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Elizabeth uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in a clear, practical way. One common approach focuses on teaching coping skills that reduce intense feelings and improve day-to-day functioning; this work often includes short exercises and tools clients can use between sessions. Another approach examines patterns in thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and helps people try different responses in real life to create change.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Elizabeth will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they choose methods to try and adjust them over time based on what works best for the individual.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer practical flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues during deeper conversations. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and texts allow for brief check-ins, progress notes, or quick coping reminders between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around daily life and changing schedules.
