About Perri
Perri Cohen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Jersey with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting and family concerns, and life changes. She also addresses issues such as caregiver strain, chronic illness, adoption and foster care questions, and feelings of guilt and shame.
Clients meet with her to talk through what feels overwhelming and to identify practical steps that fit daily life. Sessions often balance short-term strategies for coping with stress and anxiety with reflection on patterns that keep problems recurring. She uses a mix of evidence-based techniques rather than a single method.
Her work includes helping people manage grief, social anxiety, midlife shifts, and women’s health concerns. She also supports those handling aging or geriatric issues and long-term caregiving demands. Communication problems and family conflict are addressed through focused conversations about boundaries and interaction patterns.
Perri draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based methods alongside psychodynamic ideas. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thoughts, clarifying personal values, and noticing recurring emotional themes. Sessions combine skill-building with opportunities to reflect on deeper life patterns.
She practices in New Jersey and works in English. The subscription-based session model used for bookings can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button.
Evidence-based approaches and how online sessions work
Perri uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify and change thoughts and behaviors that contribute to stress and anxiety. CBT sessions focus on practical skills such as thought records and behavioral experiments that can reduce acute worry and improve daily functioning.She also draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which centers on clarifying values and taking actions that matter despite uncomfortable feelings. ACT is useful for people dealing with ongoing guilt or shame who want to build a life guided by their priorities rather than by avoidance.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss which methods fit your goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as you go. That collaboration helps match techniques to what you need now, whether that is immediate coping tools or deeper pattern work.
