About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Jeffery is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 10 years of professional experience. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She also focuses on communication problems, isolation and loneliness, self-love, and social anxiety and phobia.
In sessions she listens and helps clients name the problems that feel most urgent. She uses straightforward conversation to map what’s getting in the way and to set small, concrete goals. Her style blends practical skills and reflective work so people can try things between sessions and notice what changes.
Elizabeth draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help with anxious thoughts and avoidant behavior. She also uses client-centered and mindfulness-based methods to slow things down and build awareness. Motivational Interviewing is included when people need help finding energy for change.
Her work is collaborative: she and the client decide together which strategies to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made. Sessions typically focus on learning manageable tools for social situations, improving communication, and reducing the intensity of anxious reactions.

How Elizabeth uses therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then commit to actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for people who feel held back by fear or avoidance in social settings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety and for rehearsing new ways of approaching social situations.
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on clear, respectful listening and follows the client’s lead so they can find their own solutions. This approach supports people who need time to build confidence and to make choices at their own pace.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those goals. That plan can be revised as progress is noticed, making the process collaborative and adaptive.
