Cicely Betts , LCSW

Cicely Betts is a trauma-informed Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas, bringing eight years of professional experience to her therapeutic work. She completed a Bachelor of Arts in Business Management at Dillard University in New Orleans in 2005 and earned her Master of Social Work from the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work in 2012. Her clinical training spans several evidence-based modalities, and she adapts each session to meet the specific needs of the person in front of her.

Cicely has worked with individuals, couples, families, and groups, guiding clients to identify clear goals and develop practical plans to reach them. She approaches therapy from the belief that clients are the experts on their own lives, and she partners with them to build insight and momentum toward meaningful change. Her methods draw from proven approaches to address concerns such as trauma, relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and life transitions.

Her communication style is honest and direct while remaining compassionate, often infused with a personable sense of humor to keep growth engaging rather than clinical or cold. She emphasizes strengthening self-awareness, improving communication, and rebuilding relationships so clients can move toward the lives they want.

Outside of clinical work, Cicely prioritizes a healthy work-life balance that allows time with family and friends as well as moments of solitude. Her creative interests include drawing, writing, and designing functional tools that support organization and fulfillment in both personal and professional life. She believes people carry the capacity to heal and grow, and she considers it a privilege to help others tap into that potential.
