About Betsy
Betsy Narveson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Florida with six years of clinical experience. She understands that starting therapy can feel uncomfortable and aims to make the first steps easier. Betsy wants clients to feel heard, respected, and genuinely cared for as they work toward their goals.
She works collaboratively with each person and focuses on practical progress. Sessions emphasize approaches that are evidence-based and solution-focused so people see steady movement toward what brought them to therapy.
Background and approach
Betsy aims to balance warmth with clear direction so time together feels useful. Betsy studied psychology at the University of Florida and earned her graduate degree in Marriage and Family Therapy there as well. Her background includes work in community mental health settings where she supported a wide range of concerns.
That experience shaped her ability to address both everyday stresses and deeper relationship patterns. Common issues she addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and family conflict, anger, self-esteem struggles, career stress, coping with life changes, and ADHD. She has experience counseling people in both individual and family contexts.
Her style is straightforward and compassionate. She partners with clients to choose approaches that match their needs, and she pays attention to what feels most helpful in practical terms. Betsy welcomes the chance to meet and see how she can help.
How Betsy’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening carefully and building a trusting relationship so a person can guide the pace and topics of therapy; it helps when someone needs acceptance and a steady place to talk through concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical steps to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related routines, and stress management.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Betsy will work with each person to match methods to goals, preferences, and how someone responds over time. That means trying approaches, checking progress, and shifting focus when something isn’t working as hoped.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video works well for deeper conversations, phone can be a lower-bandwidth option, and chat or text can help with short check-ins or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options aim to make therapy flexible and more accessible for different schedules and needs.
