I am Edward, Pacetti, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas. I recently joined Wings of the Future. My educational journey and professional journey in learning to be a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) played a crucial role in my supporting individuals and communities. I have advocated for my client’s issues in my practice. One brief example of this advocacy is when one of my elderly clients was depressed and unable to resolve an issue. I advocated for this client. She did could have lost her home. I contacted the city council and found a way to prevent her from being homeless. I empower my clients by integrating cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques, helping them recognize and modify negative thought patterns. Additionally, I encourage mindfulness practices to enhance self-awareness and emotional regulation. My philosophy on therapy is believing in a holistic approach to therapy, considering the individual’s environment, relationships, and community I speak in a genuine way to have rapport and trust with my clients. I weave in cultural references or local anecdotes. As a Texan, I can draw from the rich Texan heritage, folklore, or regional experiences that resonate with my clients. I value the power that lies in the details—the emotions, struggles, and triumphs.
