About Betsy
Betsy Narveson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Florida with six years of clinical experience. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps that help reduce stress and anxiety. Betsy aims to build trust quickly so people feel heard and reasonably hopeful about making change.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on what you want to achieve and on small, achievable steps that move you toward those goals.
Background and approach
She favors approaches that are solution-focused and that have strong research backing, and she checks in regularly to make sure sessions feel productive. Betsy trained at the University of Florida, earning both a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a graduate degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. Her background includes community mental health work where she supported a wide range of concerns.
That work exposed her to common problems like depression, bipolar mood concerns, anxiety, and ADHD related struggles. She often helps people dealing with relationship and parenting strain, intimacy-related worries, anger, low self-esteem, and career stress. Betsy also supports people navigating major life changes and the challenges that come with parenting and family conflict.
Her own family life informs her interest in these areas. In sessions she blends client-centered conversation with techniques from cognitive behavioral and solution-focused methods. The result is straightforward therapy that emphasizes practical change while keeping the person’s values and preferences central.
How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to you. The therapist creates a supportive space and follows your pace to understand concerns like anxiety or relationship stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and uses short exercises and actions to change them. That can help with worry, low mood, and coping with life changes.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, try techniques that match those goals, and adjust the plan as you learn what helps. You decide what feels most useful and Betsy will work with you to tailor sessions to your needs.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation when meeting in person is difficult. Phone sessions work well when a shorter check-in or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief exchanges, skill practice, and staying connected between sessions. These options provide flexibility for people juggling work, parenting, and other responsibilities.
