About Betsy
Betsy Godoy is a Florida Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 12 years of professional experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and related issues. She offers sessions in English and Spanish.
Betsy frames clients as the experts on their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. In practice she listens to what is most pressing, then focuses on concrete next steps a person can try between sessions. That might include noticing patterns that came from the family someone grew up in and testing small changes to those patterns.
Her approach mixes attachment-focused ideas with client-centered conversations and practical cognitive behavioral tools. She also uses mindfulness practices and may employ EMDR when it fits a client's history and goals. Sessions are paced to match what each person can handle at the time.
Betsy has worked with people dealing with grief, relationship struggles, addictions, sleep and eating problems, career stress, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms. She also supports those facing adoption or foster care questions, caregiver stress, and first responder-related strain.
People who are deciding to try therapy can expect straightforward conversation and collaborative planning. To begin, clients fill out a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options offered.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in relationships and early bonds. It looks at how roles and expectations learned in childhood affect current closeness and conflict. This approach can help people who notice repeated relationship patterns or family of origin issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and tests small behavior changes to alter that cycle. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and habit-related concerns. Client-centered therapy centers the conversation on the person's priorities. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps organize the client’s own ideas for change.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, and together they will try methods that fit what the client wants to work on. It is normal to try one method and adjust over time as needs and comfort change.
Confirm the currently offered session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter focused check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let people choose sessions that better match their energy on a given day, such as a conversation-focused meeting rather than a longer in-person visit. Licensed professionals can help clients weigh practical options and settle on a rhythm that fits everyday life.
