Betsy Godoy

Betsy Godoy is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Florida with 12 years of experience. She centers therapy on the client's story and strengths, and she encourages people to take the first step even when it feels hard.

She uses a mix of practical approaches to address stress, anxiety, and trauma. Sessions focus on clear goals, skills people can use between meetings, and naming patterns that get in the way of daily life. Betsy also helps with parenting challenges and relationship concerns by looking at how people connect and communicate.

Her work covers mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder, as well as grief, addiction, and compassion fatigue. She supports people facing life changes, career questions, and issues around intimacy or self-esteem. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, and caregiving stress.

Betsy draws on methods that include attachment-based approaches, client-centered support, cognitive behavioral techniques, EMDR, and mindfulness. She speaks English and Spanish and practices in Florida. Her style aims to be straightforward and respectful, helping people build on what already works for them.

To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability. Betsy emphasizes collaboration and practical next steps so people can move forward at a manageable pace.

How Betsy’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape how people connect and respond under stress; it can help with family conflict, attachment concerns, and parenting challenges. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and timing, offering a supportive space to talk things through and build on existing strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns like anxiety, anger, and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Betsy will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences, and she adapts techniques as progress and needs change. The work is collaborative and focused on small, usable steps people can try between sessions.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, require less travel time, and allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. Some formats may use video or audio only, which can help on days with limited bandwidth or when a shorter session is needed. Discuss scheduling and format preferences when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements reflect your routine and goals.
