About Cicely

Cicely Betts is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Texas who focuses on helping people navigate relationship struggles, trauma, mood concerns, and life transitions. With eight years of clinical experience, she works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals and build practical plans for change.

Background and approach

Cicely blends directness with warmth, aiming to create sessions that are compassionate yet grounded in real-world problem solving. Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Business Management from Dillard University and a Master of Social Work from the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work.

Cicely draws on a range of evidence-based therapies to tailor care to each person’s needs, helping clients strengthen communication, increase self-awareness, and manage stress, anxiety, ADHD-related challenges, and other concerns. Outside her professional life she pursues creative interests like drawing and writing, and values time with family as part of a balanced approach to wellbeing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) guides clients to clarify personal values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise; it can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation-related concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering concrete tools for managing stress, mood symptoms, and many day-to-day problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathetic relationship that supports self-exploration and personal growth, helping clients feel understood as they work toward their goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Cicely collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors sessions based on what emerges in early meetings and adjusts strategies as progress unfolds, framing treatment as a joint effort rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.

Online therapy with this practice is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access from different locations. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity when schedules shift, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for the client.
