    About Betsy

    Betsy Narveson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Florida. She aims to make the therapy process approachable for people who feel nervous about starting. Betsy emphasizes a warm, compassionate presence while helping clients take practical steps toward change.

    Betsy prefers a collaborative style. She listens first, then helps set goals that match each person's priorities. Her focus is on approaches that are evidence-based and solution-oriented, so sessions tend to center on clear next steps and measurable progress.

    She completed both her undergraduate degree in psychology and her graduate degree in marriage and family therapy at the University of Florida. Her background includes work in community mental health, where she supported a range of presenting problems across different ages.

    Common concerns Betsy addresses include stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, parenting challenges, self-esteem and intimacy-related struggles, anger, career questions, bipolar disorder, depression, coping with life changes, and ADHD. She has experience counseling individuals and working in family contexts.

    Betsy aims to build trust and a feeling of safety so clients can try new ways of handling problems. She asks about preferences and priorities, and then shapes sessions to move steadily toward the goals people bring to therapy.

  2. How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

    Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to strengthen motivation and reduce resistance, which can help with habits, mood, and follow-through on goals.

    Client-Centered Therapy centers on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space. The therapist listens deeply and follows the person's lead, which helps people feel heard while they sort out decisions and feelings.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It involves practical exercises and small experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they choose or adapt methods so sessions match the client’s needs.

    Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by saving travel time or allowing a shorter check-in on a tight schedule. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to continue regular work on skills, process relationship and family concerns, and set practical goals that carry into everyday routines.
