About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Chery is a New York LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with six years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, depression, trauma and abuse, and issues around intimacy and anger. She also lists work with career concerns, bipolar disorder, and a range of related life stressors such as caregiver strain, chronic illness, and end-of-life concerns.
Elizabeth focuses on practical conversation and clear steps in sessions. Conversations center on what feels most urgent to the person, and on small changes that can ease daily functioning. She adapts the pace and topics to the person’s needs rather than following a fixed script.
In practice she addresses abandonment and communication problems, blended family challenges, body image and forgiveness, and feelings tied to guilt and shame. She also works with substance use and addiction-related concerns, and with people managing illness or hospice-related stress. Sessions include problem-solving, skills to manage strong emotions, and discussing patterns that keep people stuck.
Her approach is straightforward. She listens, asks focused questions, and helps people break big problems into manageable steps. She aims to make the work useful for day-to-day life, such as handling difficult conversations, reducing avoidance, and building manageable routines.
To begin, the site asks readers to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The therapist uses a subscription payment model that can be canceled at any time, with costs varying by location.
How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Elizabeth uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful patterns in thinking and behavior and practicing alternative responses. This helps with anxiety, low mood, and repetitive guilt-related thoughts. Another approach breaks big problems into actionable steps and teaches emotion regulation skills so strong feelings feel more manageable in day-to-day life. That can be useful for anger, addiction-related urges, and relationship conflicts.Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals, try out techniques, and adjust what you do together based on what helps most. Expect short check-ins about how strategies are working and occasional shifts in focus when needed.
Confirm the current session formats before booking since the original biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and reduces travel time. It can also allow for briefer check-ins when life is hectic, or longer focused sessions when deeper work is needed. Discussing practical scheduling needs during the matching questionnaire will help set up sessions that fit everyday life.
