About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Jeffery is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 10 years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and difficulty with self-esteem and confidence.
She focuses on practical conversations that address what is happening now. Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented. Topics often include coping with life changes, improving motivation, and easing social anxiety and isolation.
Her approach draws on several therapeutic methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thought patterns and to build small, manageable behavior changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take actions that feel meaningful despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Mindfulness-based techniques are taught to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day focus.
Elizabeth also uses client-centered listening and motivational interviewing to support decision making and strengthen resolve. That mix aims to help people move from feeling stuck to taking concrete steps forward. She adjusts the way she works to fit practical life demands like work and family obligations.
People looking to start are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. The intake process is designed to clarify goals and match the right pace and methods for each person.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when feelings are hard. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and low motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thoughts that increase worry or low mood and testing them with real-life experiments and behavior changes. That approach is often used for anxiety and depression. Mindfulness techniques teach brief attention and breathing practices to lower reactivity and improve concentration during daily tasks.Choosing the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist collaborates with each person to match methods to goals, preferences, and how much time someone can commit. That collaborative process may combine ACT, CBT, mindfulness, and client-centered conversations over several sessions.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also allows some people to use audio-only sessions when they prefer not to be on camera or to pick shorter sessions during a workday break. The focus is on finding a practical way to make therapy fit everyday life.
