About

About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Carrero is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing family stress and parenting challenges. She speaks English and Spanish and brings ten years of mental health experience to conversations about anxiety, depression, and life changes. Carrero focuses on building a respectful, warm connection with each person.

She makes space for parents to talk through daily stress, relationship tension, and worries about behavior or attention. Sessions are straightforward and practical, aimed at small steps that fit a family's routine.

Background and approach

Her approach mixes client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. That means she listens first, then offers simple strategies to change thinking patterns, handle big emotions, and manage stress. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing when those methods fit the issue.

Carrero pays attention to life context - work, culture, caregiving roles, and past experiences all matter to her. She has worked with people dealing with trauma, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment questions, and caregiver stress. She also supports those coping with OCD symptoms, self-harm thoughts, and grief.

People who choose her often want practical ways to feel steadier and more connected at home. Her sessions aim to strengthen communication, reduce overwhelm, and build routines that support mental health. She helps clients set clear, manageable goals and checks progress as they go.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy means the therapist follows the person's lead, listens closely, and adapts priorities to what matters most. This approach helps with parenting stress and relationship concerns by focusing sessions on the issues the parent brings up and on practical next steps.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks down stressful thoughts and habits into manageable parts and uses simple exercises to change them. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, ADHD-related struggles, and managing everyday parenting pressures.

Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for handling strong emotions and improving communication. DBT techniques are useful for anger, intense stress, and relationship conflicts that come up in family life.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what helps. That collaborative process helps match tools to real-life parenting needs and family routines.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use visual cues and practice new communication skills. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging work well for short check-ins, quick skill reminders, or when parents need flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules.
