Betsy Godoy , LCSW

Betsy Godoy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 12 years of professional therapy experience. She has supported people facing stress, anxiety, family conflicts, matters of spirituality and religion, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges. Betsy holds a strengths-based view, believing each person is the expert of their own story and already possesses resources that can help address current difficulties.

She recognizes that taking the first step toward therapy requires courage and seeks to honor that decision while working alongside clients. Her approach centers on acknowledging individual strengths and working collaboratively to move through the challenges that brought someone to therapy.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Betsy draws on several evidence-informed approaches to support clients in an online setting. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns of relating and can be helpful for those struggling with intimacy, family dynamics, or attachment issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and active listening so clients can explore values and make choices that fit their lives. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and often supports work on anxiety, stress, and mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Betsy collaborates with clients to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she adjusts the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility and easier access to regular support. Licensed professionals can use these formats to provide consistent care without requiring travel, which can make scheduling around work, parenting, or other responsibilities more manageable.
