More about Betsy

  • 5 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMHC

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with experience supporting individuals through anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional regulation challenges, and the development of effective coping skills. I am deeply passionate about helping individuals identify and work toward their personal goals, whether that means finding relief from overwhelming emotions, building resilience, or creating meaningful change in their lives. I believe therapy is not one-size-fits-all, and I value working collaboratively with each client to discover what truly works best for them. My approach is compassionate, supportive, and tailored to your unique needs, strengths, and experiences, creating a safe space where growth and healing can unfold at your own pace.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
