Children’s Clinical Team Lead

Therapist for Children and Teens

Ellie Giacobbe, LCSW- therapist at Lakeview Counseling Services

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.

"Every child is a unique individual with their own strengths and struggles — it's my mission to help them discover their potential."


I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a passion for helping children and their families navigate the challenges of life. I specialize in working with children who have unique needs, including those diagnosed with Autism, ADHD/ADD, anxiety, and difficulties in social skills and emotional regulation.

I have 10 years of experience in the field of social work, as a social worker at an autism therapy center, as well as a school social worker. One of the core principles that guides my practice is the belief in a team approach. I understand that the well-being of a child is intricately connected to their family, home environment, and community. By collaborating with parents, teachers, and other professionals, we can create a holistic support system that empowers the child to grow and thrive.

In my practice, I use evidence-based therapeutic techniques, personalized treatment plans, and a compassionate, non-judgmental approach. I aim to create a safe, fun, and nurturing space where children can express themselves, learn new skills, and develop positive strategies.

When not working, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I love to support live music and attend concerts in my free time, with my favorite band being The Grateful Dead! My husband and I enjoy playing music together, traveling, and going on adventures with our baby daughter and Labradoodle.
