About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Devivo is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 26 years of practice. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, anger, depression, and life changes. Her style is practical and direct, aimed at clarifying what feels most urgent and manageable in day-to-day life.
She pays attention to how health and chronic illness can change routines, moods, and roles. Sessions are used to sort through immediate problems and to build coping steps that fit a person's schedule. Conversations tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on what to try between meetings.
Elizabeth draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide intervention choices. She works with clients to identify unhelpful patterns and to develop realistic strategies for handling strong emotions and difficult transitions. Progress is tracked in concrete ways so people can see what is shifting.
Her background includes many years of clinical practice in New York settings. That experience informs how she balances short-term problem solving with longer-term emotional work. She aims to help clients find clearer routines and better ways to manage stressors that affect family, work, and health.
People who choose her often want plainspoken guidance and practical tools. To begin, clients complete an intake process and schedule a first session where priorities are set and an initial plan is agreed on.
BHow sessions work
How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Elizabeth commonly uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skill building and problem solving. One approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing more balanced ways of thinking; this helps with anxiety and depression by changing how someone responds to stressful situations. Another approach centers on emotion regulation - noticing strong feelings, naming them, and using clear steps to reduce intensity so daily tasks are easier to manage. These methods aim to produce small practical changes that add up over time.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, daily life, and preferences. That decision can change as work progresses, and adjustments are made together based on what is helping.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when a quick reset is needed. Phone options can work when video is not practical, and video supports face-to-face conversation when seeing facial cues matters. Check the available formats so sessions fit into work, family, and health routines.
