Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small experiments that can change mood and behavior. Mindfulness practices are introduced in simple ways to reduce reactivity and increase calm. Internal Family Systems is offered to help people understand different parts of themselves and how those parts interact during stress or difficult decisions.
Betsy often helps people dealing with parenting concerns, depression, coping with big life transitions, and self-worth issues. She also has experience with adoption and foster care topics, aging and geriatric questions, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, cancer-related adjustment, attachment issues, and relationship and communication struggles. Sessions aim to be collaborative and concrete.

Online support
How these approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead, so online sessions prioritize questions and reflections that help people feel heard and understood. This approach is useful when someone needs a safe space to sort through parenting worries, grief, or life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and uses simple experiments to test new ways of responding. Online CBT sessions can include worksheets, between-session practice, and brief check-ins to track progress when anxiety or low mood are a concern.
Finding the right approach is a conversation, not a one-size-fits-all decision. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose or blend methods based on the person’s goals, preferences, and what feels helpful in the first few sessions.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face work and screen-sharing of tools. Phone sessions reduce bandwidth needs and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins, written reflection, and more frequent touchpoints between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
