About Betsy
Betsy Godoy is a licensed clinical social worker who draws on twelve years of experience to help people facing strong emotions and life disruptions. She uses straightforward, respectful conversation to figure out what feels most urgent and workable for each person. Betsy believes clients are the experts on their own lives.
She helps people identify strengths and small steps they can take right away. That practical focus supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, or anger.
Background and approach
Her work also addresses trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, relationship struggles, and substance use challenges. She pays attention to how attachment and past family patterns shape current problems. Betsy also supports people with ADHD, bipolar disorder, and sleep or eating issues when these affect daily life.
She uses a mix of approaches, including attachment-based work, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, EMDR, and mindfulness practices. Those methods are chosen to match each person's needs and comfort level rather than as a one-size-fits-all solution. Sessions are available in English and Spanish and are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Betsy practices in Florida and works with people navigating life changes, career pressure, compassion fatigue, adoption and foster care concerns, and other complex stresses. Signing up begins with a short questionnaire and scheduling through the Start Therapy button. Betsy frames the first sessions as an opportunity to set clear goals and agree on practical next steps.

How Betsy’s Approaches Work Online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions explore those patterns and teach new ways to connect and set boundaries that reduce reactivity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger management. Mindfulness Therapy brings present-moment attention to reduce overwhelm and improve emotion regulation in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Betsy will collaborate with clients to choose or blend methods based on goals, comfort, and what is happening in their lives. That shared planning helps keep sessions focused and useful from the start.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and movement-based tools. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or tracking progress between sessions. These options help make regular therapy more manageable for people with busy schedules or variable needs.
