About Betty

Betty Gewirtz is a licensed social worker with more than 30 years of clinical and coaching experience in New York. She brings a background in executive and professional coaching alongside long-term practice helping people navigate stress, anxiety, career challenges, relationship concerns, grief, and changes in life circumstances.

Background and approach

Her dual LCSW and LCSW-R credentials reflect extensive clinical training and practice in the region. Gewirtz frames work as a partnership in which the client is the expert of their own life, and she supports clients in identifying and using their existing strengths to address obstacles.

She emphasizes practical steps toward greater fulfillment and improved day-to-day functioning, whether that means managing sleep and anger, addressing compassion fatigue, or building self-esteem. Clients can expect encouragement to take the first courageous steps toward change while receiving steady professional guidance.

Therapeutic work with Gewirtz often blends coaching-oriented strategies with evidence-informed techniques to help people cope with depression, ADHD-related concerns, parenting stress, and career transitions. Her practice in New York focuses on helping individuals clarify goals, develop coping skills, and sustain progress over time.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care

Betty Gewirtz uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside coaching methods to help clients reach clearer goals and build practical skills. One common approach focuses on structured coaching techniques that break larger goals into manageable steps and emphasize career and executive decision-making support. This method is useful for people seeking direction, improved performance, and practical strategies for workplace or professional challenges.

Another approach draws on cognitive and behavioral strategies to help with stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, anger, and symptoms often encountered alongside ADHD. These techniques teach concrete coping skills, routines, and thought-reframing practices that aim to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and she collaborates with clients to decide which combination of coaching and evidence-informed therapy best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative exploration helps shape a tailored plan and adjustments over time.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and varied communication preferences. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, manage work commitments, and access support from New York without travel, while still allowing therapists to provide structured interventions and ongoing guidance.
