About Me
My name is Stayla Elacqua, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with years of experience. I support adolescents and adults facing anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, school, or relationship challenges, helping them build coping skills and reach their full potential.
My approach
I take a client-centered approach, tailoring therapy to each individual’s needs. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and other evidence-based methods to address thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. My focus is on creating a safe, supportive space where clients feel comfortable expressing themselves and exploring personal growth.
I approach therapy individually, tailoring my methods to each person's unique needs. I utilize a cognitive-behavioral approach, which effectively addresses emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. I prioritize a safe and accepting atmosphere where everyone can express themselves freely.
