About Perri
Perri Cohen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Jersey with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, family issues, and life changes including adoption and foster care matters.
Perri focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Sessions look at current coping skills and the patterns that keep problems repeating. She helps clients notice what gets in the way of meeting personal goals and develop manageable strategies to respond differently.
Her work includes support for people dealing with caregiving strain, chronic illness or pain, and midlife transitions. Communication problems, guilt and shame, and concerns common to women are also areas she addresses. Social anxiety and phobia are listed among her clinical focuses.
Perri uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and blends approaches to match a person’s needs. That can mean practicing new ways of thinking, building small behavior changes, and learning mindfulness tools to handle intense moments. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at past patterns when that seems helpful.
Sessions are collaborative and practical. Perri aims to help people build coping skills, increase resilience, and make clearer choices about next steps. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options button.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions
CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It is commonly used for anxiety and social fears by helping people practice different responses and notice what changes. ACT, or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, emphasizes clarifying values and taking small committed actions even when feelings are uncomfortable; it helps people move toward meaningful goals despite anxiety.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and collaborate with the client to decide whether to emphasize thought-based exercises, mindfulness skills, values-driven action, or psychodynamic reflection based on their goals and preferences.
Confirm current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, shorten travel time, or allow check-ins during a lunch break. Different session styles can support practicing skills between meetings and keeping momentum toward the client’s goals.
