More about Betty
- 11 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the State of Florida. I have more than 14 years experience in the medical and mental health field. I received a masters degree, bachelors degree, and aging certificate from Florida Atlantic University. I graduated with highest honors from the college of social work. I have dedicated half my life to the field of mental health, in particular, codependency and empowerment. I completed my internships and was hired by a local hospice. My specialties there were grief and loss, depression, anxiety, trauma, anger. My treatment approach is rather laid back, but is set on the foundation of having a therapeutic relationship, to include using theory's such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused, Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness. It has been an honor and privilege to assist people through some of the most difficult times of their lives. I love to watch people grow and become empowered to make their own life choices and decisions.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Betty is a wonderful therapist, I had just gotten separated from my husband I was having a really difficult time and struggling with depression in a few short months she helped me build up myself confidence and figure out what my real issues were she was extremely knowledgeable, and professional, and seem to truly understand what I was going through. I would highly recommend her to anyone dealing with some the same issues that I was struggling with.
I have struggled for years to engage in therapy with a therapist who I feel is knowledgeable. I was hesistant to use the betterhelp platform but my experience has been amazing. Betty has made such a difference in my life in such a short time. I would definitely recommend working with Betty!
Betty is a kind and genuine soul. She does not push her views but blends her expertise with your needs. I highly recommend her for anyone with familial relationship issues. Especially if you think you may have codependent tendencies.
Betty has been super helpful! She’s very kind and understanding to my concerns. And she doesn’t make me feel alienated. She’s awesome!
Betty is a warm hearted human being that is really trying to get heal her patients sorrow, pain, and trauma. She will take you on this emotion journey but guides you every step of the way.

Betty has been a great help! She's easy to talk/open up to, communicates well, plenty of experience and a great listener I would definitely recommend Betty
She is kind and understanding, but doesn’t let you dwell in excuses! She gives great guidance and it is always fun and helpful to talk with her, especially on my not so good days.
Very intuitive and Understanding!!
Betty is extremely knowledgeable, and clearly studied both academically and through her own self evaluation. She’s offered a wide variety of tools, exercises, and readings to further study and use outside of our sessions. She easy to talk to, comforting, reassuring, and professional.
Betty has helped me tremendously with multiple issues I've faced in my life. I can confidently say I am a better, happier person as a result of her counseling. I can recommend her to anyone.
She is amazing!
I spent a few months with Betty working through various topics. She has helped me become the most wholehearted version of myself and I've never felt better. She is so kind and very relatable- and frankly my biggest fan! I've stopped therapy now because I think she has set me up with all of the tools I need to take on the world. I can't thank her enough for all that she has done. I HIGHLY recommend her!
Betty is awesome!
Betty is extremely professional, kind, passionate, and empathetic. She has helped me completely change my life and more importantly my mindset over the course of the past year. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to make positive changes in their life!
Betty has been an incredible help in discovering how to better myself, FOR myself. She is kind and honest and open with her own experiences in dealing with mental health, which makes being able to open up to her so much easier and much more enjoyable. I feel like I am heard and understood when speaking with her. She has truly been a gift and I’m forever grateful for all she’s done to help me so far.
After life altering changes in December 2020, I was just in a big funk. My best friend was my recliner. No TV, or friends or anything. I saw the ad for BetterHelp on something and had been thinking I needed to get out of this funk and did realize I needed a hand. BetterHelp & Betty to the rescue! Just the acknowledgment of my feelings, then allowing me to work through them was brilliant. I did not make it particularly easy for her in that I write everything as opposed to a video chat or other method, but she’s always right there and says exactly the right thing. I’m out of my funk for now. If I ever need Betty or BetterHelp again I will reach out. I’ve already recommended it to a couple people who could use a bit of help getting out of their funk.
Betty is a fantastic therapist! I am back with her for a second time and so looked forward to working with her again. She knew exactly what I needed and has helped me to attain my goals. Truly blessed to have her on my journey of personal growth.
Betty has a gentle and compassionate spirit! She is non judgemental when I share things and it reasonable in her suggestions. She is easy to talk to and knowledgeable and I am blessed to have her as a therapist.
Betty is absolutely incredible. She goes out of her way to make sure she is there whenever you need her. She does everything she can to provide tools to help you so that eventually, you are able to healthily help yourself. I could not be more grateful for everything she has helped me realize about myself and all of the hardships she has helped me work through.
Betty is phenomenal. I’m only 2 sessions in and she has already got me moving forward in growth and perspective. Can’t wait to see what the future holds as I continue with her.
Betty is sincere and genuine. She has a way of helping to keep things focused on moving forward and improving. I haven't been doing this for too long but from my experience thus far (chat/video) this has been a beneficial partnership.
Betty is so patient and compassionate. She listens to me, but tells me what I need to hear. She is my personal cheerleader. I feel completely safe with her, and I couldn't imagine my healing journey with anyone else.
Betty has been instrumental in my healing process, she reminds me that I am able to over come my obstacles and always works with my on my level. She has taught me so much already and I look forward to continuing to work with her. She is truly amazing!
Betty is amazing! She listens and has been extremely helpful in such a short time. She makes me feel like I can do this, and that I am worth it. Thanks for everything!
Betty is fantastic! I love working with her.
She’s wonderful to work with.
Counseling sessions with her are like having a friend sitting on the front porch sipping a mint julep or tea and talking about uncomfortable topics in a comforting way. Then getting busy digging the weeds out of the flowerbed of my life.
Betty makes me feel comfortable, which allows me understand my thoughts. She explains the feeling practically so that I understand fully what I’m feeling. Then, she gives me tools and homework that keep the process moving forward. I look forward to the next message and talk.
Betty is an amazing therapist. She helped me to make an important decision and get through it. She responds promptly to messages and gives the best feedbacks.
I feel Betty listens to me and has an understanding to what I am going through, I appreciate her supporting me at this time.
She's positive and wonderful. She's compassionate and understanding. I genuinely appreciate her.
Betty is very caring and a good listener. She sets goals and helps me when I have a bad day. I look forward to our meeting days.
I’ve been talking with Betty for a few weeks now and I’ve already made such an improvement! She checks in frequently and gives me effective tools and worksheets to complete to help reflect on myself and my progress. It’s so nice to have someone to talk to that understands what you are going through.
