About Betsy
Betsy Godoy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 12 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, family conflict, parenting challenges, and a variety of related concerns including anger. Betsy speaks English and Spanish and draws on a range of therapies to help people move forward.
She approaches sessions from a perspective that centers the client's own knowledge of their life. Betsy treats people as the experts on their story and looks for strengths to build on. Conversations focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than long theory talks.
Her practice includes methods that address how people connect to others and to their own feelings. That can mean looking at patterns in relationships, examining thoughts and behaviors that keep a problem going, or using mindfulness to manage intensity in the moment. She also has experience with trauma-focused techniques.
Betsy has worked across issues such as grief, addiction, parenting strain, work stress, and challenges tied to identity and relationships. She can help people unpack how anger shows up at work, at home, or inside themselves and find ways to respond differently.
Sessions emphasize collaboration. Betsy listens for what you already know and then helps you try clearer responses and new habits. If you decide to begin, you will complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections influence current relationships and reactions. It helps when anger or conflict ties back to expectations about closeness and safety with others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It provides concrete tools to test unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep anger cycling. Mindfulness Therapy teaches skills to notice sensations and urges without immediately acting on them, which can reduce reactive responses in stressful moments.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit the goals and preferences. That collaborative process may combine elements from more than one approach and can change as needs evolve.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and enabling quicker check-ins during a lunch break or after work. Some approaches, like CBT exercises or mindfulness practice, translate well to remote sessions and can be used in shorter focused visits or longer weekly meetings depending on what you need.
