Approaches Used in Online Therapy with Elizabeth Carrero

Elizabeth Carrero integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening with empathy and helping clients identify their own goals and strengths - it is helpful for building self-esteem, improving relationships, and navigating life transitions. CBT involves examining unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) strategies when appropriate, teaching practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - approaches that can support people coping with intense emotions, relationship conflicts, or self-harm urges. Elizabeth collaborates with each person to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs and goals, adapting techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Elizabeth can be delivered by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility that fits different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to connect with licensed professionals from home, work, or other settings, and allow ongoing treatment to continue even when life is busy or circumstances change.
