About Perri

Perri Cohen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Jersey with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, parenting and family concerns, and helping people cope with life changes.

Perri works with adults who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about next steps. She listens for what is most pressing and helps people identify practical steps to reduce daily strain. Sessions also look at longer-standing patterns that may be contributing to current problems.

Her work draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques, including cognitive behavioral ideas, acceptance and commitment strategies, mindfulness-informed methods, and psychodynamic concepts. Those tools are used to teach coping skills, clarify values, and notice repetitive patterns that affect mood and relationships.

Perri also has experience addressing issues related to adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, guilt and shame, and women's issues. She supports people managing midlife transitions and social anxiety as well.

Sessions are collaborative and focused on practical changes alongside deeper understanding. She helps clients build resilience, strengthen coping skills, and organize next steps. To start, the usual process is to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

Approaches used in remote sessions

Many of her interventions come from cognitive behavioral ideas that focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with new behaviors. CBT techniques help with anxiety, worry, low mood, and everyday stress by teaching specific coping exercises and thought-work.

She also uses acceptance and commitment strategies that emphasize clarifying values and taking action consistent with those values, even when uncomfortable feelings remain. That approach is useful for people facing life changes, caregiver strain, or ongoing health challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will review what you want to change, try methods that fit your preferences and goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. The process is collaborative and practical.

The biography does not list which remote formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a workday or avoid travel time. They also let people use mindfulness and behavioral exercises in everyday settings and move at a pace that fits their schedule.
