About Betsy

Betsy Godoy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 12 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, and family-related concerns. She speaks English and Spanish and works from Florida. Betsy aims to meet clients where they are and centers their strengths in therapy.

Betsy uses practical, evidence-informed approaches. Sessions focus on understanding what matters most to the client and building skills that can be used between appointments.

Background and approach

She draws on methods such as EMDR, cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-focused ideas, and mindfulness practices to address painful memories, relationship patterns, and daily stressors. In early sessions she listens to the full story and helps set clear, realistic goals. That might include reducing anxiety, improving sleep, coping with grief, or managing mood shifts.

Betsy works with issues like parenting strain, addiction, compassion fatigue, and challenges tied to adoption or caregiving. Therapy sessions are collaborative and paced to match each person’s comfort. Betsy encourages clients to try small experiments and notice what changes.

Over time those small steps add up to clearer decision making, calmer reactions, and better day-to-day functioning. She also supports people dealing with identity and relationship concerns, including LGBT issues, intimacy questions, and communication problems. For those affected by domestic violence, first responder stress, or family-of-origin wounds, Betsy helps sort priorities and plan next steps.

Online support

Approaches you can use in online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online work explores those patterns and helps people build new ways of relating to partners, children, or themselves. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change routines. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) addresses distressing memories by using structured processing to reduce their emotional intensity.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Betsy collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. Together they set short-term aims, try techniques in session, and adjust the plan as progress is seen.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let you use visual cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins, flexible scheduling, and step-by-step coaching between live meetings. These options make it easier to keep momentum and fit therapy into a busy life.
