Elba Acosta, LCSW

Psychotherapist
NC
Hi there, I'm Elba! I’m here to support you in becoming the best version of yourself by offering empathy, guidance, and flexible availability to fit your needs. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, or major life transitions, we’ll work together every step of the way. I’m fluent in Spanish and bring a warm, down-to-earth approach—plus, I’m a big fan of pets, gardening, and baking! My approach I provide therapy in a warm and authentic space where you can explore challenges and work toward your goals. My approach is personalized and rooted in evidence-based techniques, with a focus on supporting women as they care for others while learning to care for themselves. Together, we’ll build coping skills, strengthen self-care, and empower you to find balance and fulfillment. My focus As women, we’re so used to taking care of everyone else—family, work, responsibilities—and by the time we think about our own needs, there’s nothing left in the tank. If that sounds familiar, you're not alone. I work with women 21 and up who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or simply needing a space to breathe and just be. Maybe you're managing symptoms of depression or anxiety, processing past trauma, or navigating a big life transition. Or maybe you’re not in crisis at all—you just know it’s time to start putting yourself first and practicing real self-care. Therapy with me is about creating that space for you. A space to talk things through, build coping skills, and reconnect with the version of yourself that feels whole and in control. I use a mix of supportive and evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, and motivational interviewing, but more importantly, I listen—without judgment. This is your time. I’d be honored to walk alongside you as you learn to prioritize yourself, work through what’s been weighing you down, and move forward with more clarity, confidence, and peace.
