About Betsy
Betsy Godoy is a licensed clinical social worker with 12 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and parenting concerns. She practices in Florida and speaks both English and Spanish. Her style centers on listening first and building on each person's strengths.
Betsy sees clients as the experts on their own lives. She uses that viewpoint to guide practical plans. Sessions focus on concrete steps people can try between meetings, not just talking about problems.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas to repair close relationships and on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also uses mindfulness practices to help people stay grounded and EMDR for processing certain trauma memories when appropriate. Clients come with a range of issues, including relationship strain, grief, addiction, ADHD, depression, and sleep or eating concerns.
Betsy also supports people facing career stress, compassion fatigue, adoption and foster care questions, and caregiving burdens. She values clear, direct conversation and a calm, steady presence in session. Betsy aims to help people leave feeling they have a next step to try.
Signing up for therapy is treated as a first brave step toward change.
Approach-driven care delivered online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how close relationships shape current feelings and behaviors; it helps people repair trust, improve communication, and feel safer in important relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change habits. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention to the present moment through simple practices that reduce reactivity and improve emotional balance.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Betsy will listen to each person's story and preferences and then discuss which approaches might fit best. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve during therapy.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit real life. Video lets people read facial cues and practice skills in the moment. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and texting allow brief updates, coaching between sessions, or a quieter way to communicate. These options aim to make care more flexible and easier to attend.
