Elizabeth Carrero , LCSW

Elizabeth Carrero is a bilingual clinician based in Connecticut who brings a decade of experience to mental health care. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) she holds advanced training in clinical social work and draws on that background to support individuals, families, and groups through a range of life challenges. Elizabeth is fluent in both English and Spanish, enabling her to work comfortably with clients in either language.

Her clinical work has addressed concerns such as anxiety, depression, acute stress reactions, grief and loss, trauma-related disorders, ADHD, parenting difficulties, and relationship stress. She has experience providing therapy to individuals, facilitating groups, and supporting family systems. Elizabeth approaches care with an eclectic, client-centered orientation, attending to each person within their life context and environment.

Using a person-in-environment perspective, she considers family relationships, life experiences, and individual personality when creating a tailored plan for therapy. Elizabeth emphasizes a warm, accepting therapeutic relationship as the foundation for progress and aims to honor each clientâs individual process toward emotional wellbeing. She focuses on helping people find balance and steadiness amid change and looks forward to supporting clients in their journey toward better mental health.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Elizabeth draws from client-centered therapy to create a compassionate, collaborative space where the client's perspective guides the work. This approach focuses on empathy and validation, helping people explore their values and strengths while addressing family and relationship concerns.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and skill-focused, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties.

For clients who benefit from skills training around emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness, Elizabeth incorporates elements of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). DBT provides concrete tools for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Elizabeth collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts interventions over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy with Elizabeth is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and maintain continuity of care when in-person attendance is difficult, supporting consistent progress toward personal goals.
