About Cicely
Cicely Betts is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas who focuses on practical support for people facing relationship strain, loss, identity issues, and major life changes. She writes plainly and meets clients where they are, helping them set clear goals and take small steps toward better days.
She earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work in 2012 and a Bachelor of Arts in Business Management from Dillard University. Cicely brings eight years of clinical experience and draws on several evidence-informed approaches to shape sessions that match each person's needs.
Sessions start with listening to your story and identifying what you want to change. Cicely uses direct, compassionate conversation and practical tools to strengthen self-awareness, communication, and coping skills. She also weaves in mindfulness and thinking exercises when helpful.
Her background includes work with individuals, couples, families, and groups, and she has supported people dealing with trauma, grief, anxiety, addiction, and issues around identity and relationships. Adoption and foster care is listed among her additional focus areas.
Outside of work she balances family time with creative projects like drawing and writing. That same practical creativity shows up in sessions as simple strategies and organized tools to help clients manage daily life and reach the goals they set together.
How her approaches fit into online therapy
Cicely commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that translate well to remote work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that align with those values, which can help with motivation, anxiety, and life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes honest, nonjudgmental listening and collaboration, making sessions feel supportive and focused on what matters most to you. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into steps you can practice between meetings to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Cicely works with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts plans as progress is made. That collaborative process helps keep sessions useful and relevant to everyday life.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling around work and family, shorter check-ins when time is tight, and the ability to keep consistent appointments without a commute. Because specific session formats are not listed here, confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy routine while still working on relationships, coping skills, and other goals.
