Background and approach

She has training in mediation and collaborative law counseling facilitation, which can help when communication and negotiation are needed.

She helps clients find their priorities and make step-by-step plans to reach them. People can expect a calm, direct style that focuses on real-world results. Therapy is framed as a shared process - she meets clients where they are and adjusts plans as progress is made.

The emphasis is on building skills that work day to day. Overall, Betty aims to support clients in becoming more authentic and able to live the life they want. She offers practical guidance, steady feedback, and a focus on small, manageable changes that add up over time.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult feelings while clarifying values and taking steps that matter. It is useful for stress, anxiety, life changes, and getting unstuck from patterns that hold you back. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, and problem-solving daily challenges. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and reshaping emotions in relationships and personal connections, which can improve communication and closeness when trust or intimacy are strained.

Finding the best fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about needs and goals, try approaches that match those priorities, and adjust methods as progress is made. That way the work stays practical and relevant to each person's life.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These formats help fit sessions into busy days, allow follow-up between meetings, and make it simpler to get support from home or on the go. Licensed professionals can guide treatment, teach skills, and track progress using these options so therapy can move forward even when schedules are tight.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
