Remote therapy options and approaches
Betsy offers remote sessions that use a combination of approaches to meet different needs. Through cognitive behavioral therapy, she helps individuals identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address stress. Cognitive behavioral work often includes collaborative skill-building and concrete exercises that clients can apply between sessions.
For people processing traumatic events or ongoing effects of abuse, Betsy uses trauma-focused therapy to attend to safety, symptom management, and paced processing of difficult memories. When exploration of meaning, values, and life direction is important, she integrates existential ideas to support reflection on purpose and personal responsibility. Solution-focused techniques are employed to highlight strengths and identify small, attainable steps toward change.
Remote communication is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that best fits their daily routines and comfort level.
