More about me
Licensing: MSW, M.Ed, LICSW Years in Practice: 20 State: Massachusetts
Hello, my name is Stefanie Acierno, licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW), a psychotherapist who is dedicated to providing emotional and mental health services to adults, college students, and athletes living in Massachusetts.
I have been a behavioral health provider for over 20 years, who has served in additional capacities as emergency services/crisis clinician in hospital settings, inpatient psychiatric & medical clinician, and clinical social work supervisor of a trauma hospital in Boston. I have years of experience working with populations at risk and co-occurring disorders in the Boston area.
My educational background includes a Master’s in Clinical Social Work (MSW) from Boston University, a Master’s in Education (M.Ed) from Boston University, a BA in Social Rehabilitation from Assumption College, and currently pursuing a Doctorate of Psychology in Behavioral Health Leadership & Counseling from Walden University.
I believe each individual is complex and there is not a one-size-fits-all solution or answer. I believe great clinical outcomes are often achieved through a strong therapeutic alliance and collaborative efforts between the clinician and the client; the expert of their own life. I want my clients to feel they are learning skills and strategies to use outside of their sessions.
I have full confidence that everyone can grow into a fuller, happier person, even when they doubt their ability to do so. Individual counseling is a personal opportunity to receive support and experience growth during challenging times in life. Individual counseling can help one deal with many personal topics in life. I value compassion, collaboration, communication, and trust. If you require emotional and mental health services, I am here to move with you on that journey.
About online counseling
Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
