About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Carrero welcomes clients seeking practical support for life’s challenges and aims to help people regain balance through collaborative work. She brings ten years of experience as an LCSW and uses a client-focused style that emphasizes understanding each person’s life context, relationships, and personal strengths.

Background and approach

Bilingual in English and Spanish, she offers therapy that reflects respect for multicultural backgrounds and individual stories. Carrero integrates evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, dialectical skills, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and client-centered care to tailor treatment to the needs presented.

Her experience includes individual, family, and group work addressing concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD, parenting and relationship stress, grief, and coping with life changes. She frames progress as a partnership, building a supportive therapeutic relationship while helping clients develop practical skills and insight.

Sessions are offered in Connecticut and are available through a variety of online formats to fit different schedules and preferences.

Integrating practical therapies for online care

Elizabeth Carrero commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete strategies for reducing symptoms and improving daily functioning. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship and centers the client’s perspective to guide goals and pacing. When emotional regulation or intense emotions are a concern, elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy provide skills for managing distress, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and increasing emotional balance.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning helps shape a tailored course of work rather than applying a single technique from the outset.

Online therapy is offered through multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, continue work while traveling, or maintain momentum between in-person resources. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and skill-building work to the online setting so practical tools and supportive therapy remain central to the process.
