Betty Acierno

(LCSW)

About Me

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the State of Florida. I have more than 8 years experience in the medical and mental health field. I received a masters degree, bachelors degree, and aging certificate from Florida Atlantic University. I graduated with highest honors from the college of social work. I have dedicated half my life to the field of mental health, in particular, codependency and empowerment. I completed my internships and was hired by a local hospice. My specialties there were grief and loss, depression, anxiety, trauma, anger. My treatment approach is rather laid back, but is set on the foundation of having a therapeutic relationship, to include using theory's such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused, Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness. It has been an honor and privilege to assist people through some of the most difficult times of their lives. I love to watch people grow and become empowered to make their own life choices and decisions.

Betty is super kind, helpful, and ready to listen and offer advice. She always makes sure to cover everything that is weighing in on your mind. she is so encouraging and I really felt like she wants me to succeed and be okay. I like the worksheets she sends me because although they feel like a challenge sometimes, it's a great way to give me some guidance and insight to myself. Betty is truly a ray of sunshine that I desperately needed in my life.

Counseling sessions with her are like having a friend sitting on the front porch sipping a mint julep or tea and talking about uncomfortable topics in a comforting way. Then getting busy digging the weeds out of the flowerbed of my life.

Betty makes me feel comfortable, which allows me understand my thoughts. She explains the feeling practically so that I understand fully what I’m feeling. Then, she gives me tools and homework that keep the process moving forward. I look forward to the next message and talk.

I’ve been talking with Betty for a few weeks now and I’ve already made such an improvement! She checks in frequently and gives me effective tools and worksheets to complete to help reflect on myself and my progress. It’s so nice to have someone to talk to that understands what you are going through.
