About Betsy

Betsy Godoy is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker with 12 years of experience who blends client-centered care with evidence-based strategies to support people facing a wide range of life challenges.

Background and approach

She emphasizes the client as expert in their own story, building on existing strengths while addressing concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, mood disorders including depression and bipolar, and ADHD-related struggles.

Her approach often incorporates attachment-focused work to explore relational patterns, cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and mindfulness practices to increase present-moment awareness and emotional regulation. Betsy also offers EMDR for processing traumatic memories when appropriate.

Services extend to matters like parenting and family conflict, adoption and foster care dynamics, caregiver stress, and issues tied to identity such as LGBT concerns. Sessions are available in English and Spanish and are delivered through multiple online formats to fit clients' schedules.

Prospective clients are invited to take the initial step of completing a short matching questionnaire to arrange therapy based on the therapist's availability and their needs.

Approaches that translate to online care

Attachment-based work focuses on exploring relational patterns and emotional bonds so clients can understand how early and current relationships shape their reactions and expectations; it is useful for interpersonal difficulties, attachment issues, and family dynamics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that supports processing distressing memories to reduce their emotional charge and improve coping across trauma-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and symptom patterns to determine whether attachment work, CBT, EMDR, mindfulness, or a combination will best meet the client's needs, and will adapt methods as progress is reviewed.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and choose the communication style that feels most supportive for the work ahead.
