About Betsy
Betsy Godoy is a Florida LCSW - a licensed clinical social worker with 12 years of practice. She focuses on stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting issues, and related challenges. She sees adults and offers services in English and Spanish.
Betsy centers sessions on the client's own experience. She treats people as the expert on their story and looks for strengths to build on. Conversations are practical and direct, focused on what is causing strain at home and what can change in day-to-day life.
She uses approaches like attachment work, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, EMDR, and mindfulness. Those methods are adapted to the problem at hand, whether that is grief, relationship tension, addictive behaviors, or parenting stress. Sessions may include skill practice, thought patterns review, and guided processing of difficult memories.
Betsy has additional focus in areas such as adoption and foster care, attachment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome related concerns, caregiver stress, communication problems, and family of origin issues. She also supports people coping with divorce, domestic violence, first responder stress, and HIV/AIDS related concerns.
Her style emphasizes collaboration. People are invited to set goals and to try concrete steps between sessions. To begin, a brief matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled through the online therapy options button.
How sessions work
How Betsy uses evidence-based approaches online
Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships affect current family interactions. It can help people understand patterns in caregiving, attachment wounds, and communication problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing different behaviors to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or manage mood problems.Choosing an approach is a shared decision. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to focus on processing difficult memories, practicing new skills, or strengthening attachment patterns.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm which options are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around parenting, work, or caregiving routines. They can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or sessions without video if that better suits the moment. Licensed professionals adapt timing and tools to help therapy fit into everyday life rather than requiring big schedule changes.
