Great to meet you!

Hi! I’m Elba Acosta, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20+ years of experience. I’m here to help you become the best version of yourself by providing support every step of the way. Whether you’re facing depression, anxiety, or life changes, we’ll work together to overcome them and be the best version of yourself. I offer immediate availability with flexible hours and ensure every session is filled with empathy and care. Fluent in Spanish, I’m ready to help you on your journey. I love pets, gardening, and baking!

My approach to therapy

I provide therapy creating a warm and authentic space for you to explore challenges and achieve your goals. My approach is personalized and rooted in evidence-based techniques, focusing on supporting women as they navigate the complexities of caring for themselves while caring for others. Together, we’ll work on building coping skills, improving self-care practices, and empowering you to find balance and fulfillment in your life.

Services are available via telehealth for clients in North Carolina.

NOTE: I provide mental health only. I will not complete or provide forms, letters, or evaluations for FMLA, workplace or school accommodations, emotional support animals, HR matters, or any legal/ employment purposes, insurance benefits claims or any other administrative or official purpose.

What you can expect from me

In our sessions, you can expect a supportive and interactive space where you feel genuinely heard and validated. We’ll address internal and external stressors and process in a healthy way, using evidence-based approaches to foster positive, lasting changes. When appropriate, I incorporate humor to create a relaxed and engaging atmosphere. Together, we’ll work toward empowering you to thrive in all areas of life. I look forward to connecting with you!!
