About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Chery is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with six years of professional experience. She works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationships, self-esteem, depression, and career questions. Elizabeth also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, anger, bipolar disorder, and family-related challenges.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on clear goals and concrete steps clients can try between meetings. Conversations aim to identify patterns that keep someone stuck and develop strategies to change them.
Elizabeth adapts the conversation and plan to each person's situation. She listens for what matters most and helps turn that into manageable next steps. That can include building coping skills for anxiety, addressing substance use patterns, or working on communication around relationship stress.
Clients who are coping with long-term illness, caregiver strain, aging concerns, or end-of-life planning can bring those stresses into sessions. She also addresses issues like body image, abandonment, blended family dynamics, divorce and separation, and feelings of isolation.
In practice Elizabeth combines evidence-based therapeutic techniques with a focus on practical problem solving. Sessions are aimed at making progress on immediate problems while also looking at longer-term patterns. To start, readers are asked to use the site matching process and schedule a first session to see how the work might fit their needs.
How therapeutic methods translate to online work
Elizabeth uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One common approach is cognitive-behavioral style work, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Another frequent element is skills-based work for addiction and coping, which breaks big problems into specific strategies like craving management and relapse prevention.Choosing the right method is part of the process. Elizabeth treats the selection as a collaboration, listening to a person's goals and preferences and adjusting methods so sessions feel useful and workable. That means testing an approach and shifting focus if something is not helping.
If you want to use online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking. The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule, joining from a location that reduces travel time, and using shorter check-ins when needed. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, while video allows for more visual cues during conversations. Ask about the available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so you can choose what fits your routine.
