Betsy Godoy

Betsy Godoy is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Florida. She brings 12 years of experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting challenges, and anger. Betsy speaks English and Spanish and frames therapy around each person's story and strengths.

She starts from the view that the client knows their life best. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps people can try between meetings. Betsy listens for patterns rooted in attachment, life transitions, or past hurts and uses strategies that match what feels most useful to the person in front of her.

Her approach blends client-centered work with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. That mix helps people change unhelpful thinking, learn new coping skills, and ground themselves in the present moment. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to repair connection and on EMDR for people who have trauma that keeps returning.

Betsy has worked across a range of concerns including addictions, grief, self-esteem, relationship strain, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue. She also focuses on adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, and communication problems tied to family history.

Starting therapy with Betsy means naming a goal, trying small changes, and checking what works. She encourages straightforward talk, practical steps, and steady progress at a pace people can manage.

Approaches for online work and practical coping

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships shape feeling safe and connected. Online sessions using this lens help people notice patterns from early bonds and try new ways of relating that reduce anger and anxiety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete skills to spot unhelpful thoughts and change them through small, doable experiments. It is useful for stress, anxiety, sleep and mood management.

Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. Together you can test different tools, adjust what isn’t working, and keep what helps most.

Confirm the session formats before booking so you know how meetings will take place. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - shorter check-ins during a lunch break, avoiding travel time, or using audio when video feels like too much. These practical benefits help people maintain momentum while working on anger, trauma recovery, parenting challenges, and everyday stress.
