About Betsy

Betsy Godoy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 12 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, and family concerns. She works in English and Spanish and practices in Florida. Betsy emphasizes the person's own strengths and life story when starting therapy.

Betsy draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She combines that with client-centered listening to make space for each person's priorities.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used when helpful to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In sessions she focuses on practical steps and short-term goals alongside deeper relationship patterns. This can include coping tools for anxiety, ways to manage mood swings, and strategies for sleep and eating concerns.

She also supports people dealing with grief, addiction, compassion fatigue, and the stress of caregiving. Betsy has worked with people facing adoption and foster care challenges, attachment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, and family-of-origin problems. She also addresses domestic violence, recovery from drug and alcohol addiction, and the stresses faced by first responders and caregivers.

Therapy begins by listening to the person's story and identifying what matters most. Betsy helps set clear goals and tailors practical exercises to daily life. She encourages small changes that add up to better coping and stronger relationships.

Online support

How attachment work and practical techniques translate online

Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape a person's patterns. Online sessions can explore those patterns by talking through family stories, identifying triggers, and practicing new ways of relating. Client-centered therapy centers on listening and tailoring the work to what the person wants, so sessions start with the client's goals and move at their pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers concrete tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online CBT sessions often use brief exercises, homework, and step-by-step plans for managing anxiety, mood, sleep, or eating concerns. EMDR can also be adapted for remote work when appropriate, using guided attention and processing to address traumatic memories.

Betsy will work with each person to find the best mix of approaches based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversation and working through interpersonal material. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not desired. Live chat and text-based messaging can fit into busy days for short check-ins, homework review, or quick coping support. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a person's life.
