About Betsy
Betsy Godoy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 12 years of professional experience. She centers her work on understanding each person's story and building on their strengths. Betsy aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable for people who are worried or overwhelmed.
Betsy listens in a calm, straightforward way and helps clients clarify problems. She uses approaches that focus on relationships and current patterns to make sense of stress, anxiety, and sleep concerns. She also addresses trauma, parenting questions, and problems tied to family and relationships.
Clients can expect practical tools and clear conversation about what is getting in the way of rest, balance, or emotional recovery. Betsy blends strategies that look at thoughts and behaviors with attention to how early attachments and present relationships shape feelings. Mindfulness techniques are used to help with staying grounded during hard moments.
Her background includes work with substance concerns, grief, identity-related stress, and caregiver strain. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, attachment difficulties, autism-related challenges, and first responder stress. Betsy provides care in both English and Spanish for people located in Florida.
She approaches therapy as a collaborative process. Rather than telling clients what to do, she helps them test changes and find steps that fit their life and routines.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior. Online sessions can use discussion and reflective exercises to identify patterns that affect sleep, connection, and stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured exercises and practical homework, which can be reviewed between sessions to help with anxiety and sleep routines.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals, daily routine, and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try and how to adapt them over time. This collaborative process helps clients find techniques that actually fit their life.
Confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for focused check-ins during breaks. Some people find it simpler to practice CBT homework or mindfulness exercises at home; others like the convenience of scheduling from work or between activities. Ask about session formats when you sign up so you know what is available and how to plan sessions around your schedule.
