How Betty works
Her background also includes certification as a Psychological Examiner and training earned in St. Charles, Missouri. Her style is practical and client-centered.
Sessions focus on building tools and small steps you can use between meetings. She adapts methods to what each person needs rather than using a single approach for everyone. When thinking about anxious or negative thought patterns, she may work with techniques that help change how a person thinks and reacts.

Evidence-based techniques and online care
Betty often draws on cognitive-focused methods that help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns. These techniques are useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and negative self-talk because they teach concrete steps for shifting reactions and behaviors.She also incorporates calming and grounding practices that reduce physiological arousal and help people manage trauma responses or intense anxiety. These approaches include simple breathing and awareness exercises that can be practiced during and between sessions.
Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, try methods, and adjust based on what the person finds helpful. This collaborative process aims to find the right balance of skills and supports.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide ongoing support and can fit into busy schedules or when typing out thoughts feels easier.
