About Betsy
Betsy Godoy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on anxiety and stress and helps people who are struggling with trauma, grief, relationship strain, and problems tied to parenting and family dynamics. Betsy approaches therapy believing each person is the expert on their own story.
She looks for strengths you already have and builds on them in clear, practical ways.
Background and approach
Sessions are meant to feel collaborative and straightforward, not overwhelming. In session she blends approaches to match what a person needs. That can mean using cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking, attachment-based ideas to strengthen close relationships, or mindfulness practices to calm the body and mind.
She also draws on methods aimed at processing trauma when it is needed. Betsy has worked with people facing addictions, depression, bipolar challenges, and complicated grief alongside issues like ADHD, intimacy concerns, and career stress. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care questions, caregiver strain, and family of origin wounds.
She offers care in English and Spanish and provides therapy via phone, video calls, live chat, and text messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on therapist availability.
Approaches that shape online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early connections affect current relationships and emotional responses. In practice this means talking about patterns in close relationships and trying small changes to feel safer and more connected. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises to identify unhelpful thinking and to try new behaviors that reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Betsy will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their needs and goals. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together as progress unfolds.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video calls allow full conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and daily life while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
