About Betsy
Betsy Narveson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Florida with six years of experience. She works with people who are managing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, self-esteem and intimacy issues, anger, career questions, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
Betsy prefers collaborative work. She aims to make sessions productive and to move steadily toward the goals a client brings. She emphasizes approaches that are evidence-based and solution-focused, and she adjusts what she does to fit each person's preferences and goals.
Her training includes a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a graduate degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Florida. She has clinical experience in community mental health settings where she worked with a range of presenting problems across age groups and family situations.
In practice she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Those approaches guide conversations, skill practice, and short-term problem solving based on what a client wants to change.
Betsy is a Florida LMFT. Sessions are conducted in English. People outside the United States are not accepted at this time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to schedule an initial appointment and to identify priorities for early sessions.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors. It offers concrete tools for anxiety, depression, ADHD challenges, and stress by teaching skills and short experiments to change reactions and habits.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps clarify priorities and supports people who want time to sort through decisions about relationships, parenting, or career direction.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will collaborate with the client to choose methods based on goals, preferences, and what has helped before. That decision is revisited as therapy progresses so sessions remain practical and focused.
Confirm the available online formats before booking because the biography does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people use video or audio options depending on comfort and bandwidth. The therapist will discuss which mode best supports the planned work during the matching and first session.
