Elizabeth Anne Perry, LCSW

Elizabeth Anne Perry is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical therapies to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and addiction-related concerns. She brings 12 years of experience and focuses on clear, usable strategies rather than jargon. Elizabeth works with adults on issues like grief, self-esteem, mood disorders, and LGBT-related concerns. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term, reachable goals. Sessions are aimed at making everyday life easier and more manageable. Elizabeth has particular experience with codependency and supporting people affected by a loved one's addiction or mental illness. She helps clients see how early attachment or abandonment issues may show up in their relationships and work lives. She also addresses chronic pain, illness, and the ways physical conditions interact with mood and coping. Her approach is direct and practical. Clients can expect concrete tools, homework between sessions when useful, and a focus on small changes that add up. Work may include skill building for communication, managing obsessive or compulsive patterns, and rebuilding a sense of purpose. Elizabeth practices in New Jersey as an LCSW. She conducts sessions in English and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging for online care. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability.

How cognitive and skills-based therapies work online

Elizabeth uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thoughts that lead to distress and practice new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, OCD patterns, and many mood-related issues.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills are often helpful for strong emotions, anger, and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what the client finds most useful. Together they decide which techniques to prioritize and how to track progress.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video allows face-to-face interaction and skills practice, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can support shorter check-ins or ongoing skill reminders. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while maintaining consistent care.
