How Betty works
Betty draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which teaches skills for emotion regulation and handling intense moments. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, realistic steps toward change. Those methods are mixed with a strengths-based outlook to help people find what already works for them.
Her background includes case management, inpatient work, and one-on-one therapy. That range of experience informs how she assesses safety and builds practical plans for coping and recovery. She has four years of professional experience as a licensed clinical social worker.
In sessions she helps people talk through communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, questions about life purpose, and mood or personality challenges. She also supports people dealing with panic attacks, seasonal mood shifts, self-harm urges, and the work of forgiveness. Betty works with each person to shape a plan that fits their life.
She encourages small steps, practical skills, and attention to strengths as people move forward.

DBT and Solution-Focused Approaches for Online Care
Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive reactions. It focuses on techniques like breathing, grounding, and step-by-step coping strategies to handle strong feelings and crises.Solution-Focused Therapy looks for practical, achievable changes and builds on what already works in a person's life. Sessions often concentrate on small goals and progress that can be tracked week to week.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with people to choose methods that match their goals, symptoms, and daily routines. Plans are revisited and adjusted as needed so work in therapy fits real life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone can be a simpler check-in, live chat is handy for shorter exchanges, and text messaging supports ongoing reminders and brief check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or busy family days and to use the method that feels most workable for each person.
