  • Stress and anxiety
  • Addiction support
  • Self esteem work

About Elizabeth

Elizabeth Chery is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with six years of professional experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression, family stress, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, anger, career matters, and bipolar concerns. She uses straightforward conversation to help people name what is happening and set practical goals.

Her sessions focus on clear steps and honest discussion. She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people try different responses. That can look like short-term strategies for intense feelings, plus longer work on patterns that fuel recurring conflicts.

Elizabeth adapts the pace and agenda to what someone needs. She explains options and checks in about what’s working. When appropriate she combines coping skills with exploration of underlying issues such as past loss, abandonment, or shame.

She brings experience across a range of life challenges, including caregiver stress, chronic illness, blended family tensions, body image concerns, grief, and substance use issues. Practical problem solving and clearer communication skills are common focuses in her work.

Her approach is direct and respectful. People coming for help with anger or relationship frustration can expect to leave sessions with concrete ideas to try between meetings. To start, she asks about current priorities and then maps out a plan that fits those goals.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Elizabeth uses evidence-based techniques that focus on skills and patterns. One common approach she uses teaches concrete coping strategies for intense feelings, such as breathing and behavioral steps to reduce reactivity; this helps when anger spikes or anxiety feels overwhelming. Another approach looks at recurring relationship and communication patterns, helping people notice how they respond and practice different ways of saying what they need. This can help reduce resentment and repeated conflicts. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with the client about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust as needed. The work often blends short-term symptom relief with longer conversations about past loss, abandonment, or shame when those issues are relevant. Confirm which session formats are offered before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by saving travel time, allowing quicker check-ins during a work break, or letting people meet without needing to be on camera for every visit. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to support goal setting, skill practice between meetings, and follow-up on steps agreed in sessions.
