About Betsy

Betsy Godoy is a licensed clinical social worker with 12 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, and parenting challenges. She works from the belief that each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel hard, and she aims to make that step straightforward and respectful.

In sessions she uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. She also draws on client-centered methods to keep the conversation focused on the client's goals and experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is offered to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with clear, practical steps.

Betsy has supported people through family conflict, grief, and issues related to identity and relationships. She also works with concerns such as addiction, sleep and eating difficulties, anger, and career stress. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, attachment issues, autism spectrum concerns, and caregiver stress.

Clients may expect a collaborative style that highlights their strengths and goals. Betsy speaks English and Spanish and practices in Florida as an LCSW - licensed clinical social worker. She encourages people to move at a pace that feels manageable.

For someone unsure where to begin, Betsy suggests a simple first step: complete the intake steps and then schedule a session. From there she helps shape the work to match practical needs and personal values.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating and feeling, and online work can focus on recognizing those patterns and trying new ways of connecting. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's voice and goals, with the therapist following your lead and reflecting what matters most to you. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often using short exercises and homework between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Betsy will collaborate with each person to identify what feels most useful based on their needs and goals. That might mean blending approaches so the work fits the situation and moves at a comfortable pace.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Ask about the available ways to meet when you complete the intake steps. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by removing commute time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or reducing the need to be on camera. These practical benefits help many people keep therapy consistent while addressing stress, parenting challenges, trauma recovery, and other concerns.
