Betsy has been a blessing for me. At first I wasn’t sure about speaking with a therapist. But once I spoke with her we click. She is very supportive and understanding with all my needs. And she has been a tremendous help with helping fix the issues that I’ve been having that I didn’t really know I had. Or that I was in denial about. She’s easy to talk to and always available(meaning she gets back to me quite fast). I would rate her a 10/10.

More about Betsy

Hello! My name is Betsy Narveson. I know that the thought of talking with a therapist can be uncomfortable, or even downright scary! Going out of your comfort zone is hard, but you can feel good about taking action to start to create the life you want! I hope that, as we get to know each other, you can develop trust in my genuine concern and compassion, and feel safe and supported as we work together toward your goals, whatever they may be.
We’ll work collaboratively, based on your preferences and goals. Beyond ensuring that you feel comfortable working with me, my next priority is for you to feel that our time together is productive, that we are getting steadily closer to what you were seeking when you decided to try talking with a therapist. Therefore, I prefer to use approaches that are evidence-based and solution-focused.
I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology at the University of Florida, and my graduate degree there as well, in Marriage and Family Therapy. My work in community mental health as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist has allowed me to work with a wide variety of presenting problems. I have counseled both children and adults, in individual and family contexts. The most common concerns I have dealt with are stress, relationship issues, parenting difficulties, anxiety, family conflicts, coping with life changes, and depression, and youth behavioral troubles. Relationships and parenting issues have always been of particular interest to me, and are even more intriguing to me now that I am married and have two children of my own!
I would love to get to know you and assist you with whatever you are facing!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Betsy is amazing at not just listening and fully comprehending complex life situations, but also asking the right questions and guiding healthy self-reflection. I've seen a ton of personal improvement within just 3 weeks of working with Betsy. From the way I handle my thought patterns to seeking solutions to root/core issues rather than symptoms, she has given me so much lifelong knowledge!
Betsy is extremely attentive and a great listener. She has really helped me process things and is non bias, kind and thoughtful. I’m so glad I was connected with her!
So far I’ve enjoyed every aspect of our sessions and or messages back and forth. She’s been a great listener to all of what I say and very good with her responses. I enjoy her as a therapist. She really seems to care about her patients.
I appreciate Betsy's support and reassurance, and I am thankful that she responds in a timely matter, which allows me to discuss my feelings quickly and openly. It has only been two weeks, but I do feel like a bond is being established.
Attentive, engaged, follows through every time, supportive outside sessions too.
Betsy is a great therapist. She listens and offers incredible advice! She’s definitely helped me with my issues and has made me feel extremely comfortable opening up and being honest. I don’t feel judged or any negative way when we discuss the issues or feelings at hand. I would recommend her to any of my friends or family who were seeking to speak with someone.
I’ve never done therapy before and did not really think it would do anything, but decided I’d give it a shot after years of recommendation.. from my first session with Betsy I started to feel better. Her compassion and empathy is very strong. I felt comfortable with her immediately. She probes and asks questions which I like. As opposed to just letting me talk. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is struggling.
Betsy has been very helpful, she has asked me a lot of questikns and provides exercises for me to do. I feel comfortable talking to her compared to other therapists ive had. This experience has been a lot better
she's amazing
Best app ever
Betsy has been extremely helpful in helping me work through my anxieties and to understand areas of improvement. She provides a safe space to feel comfortable and a guiding hand to walk through any concerns. I appreciate her candor and expert knowledge in her field.
She’s the absolute best
Right away I felt comfortable talking to Betsy. She let me approach counseling in a way that would make me feel the most comfortable. In our sessions I feel like she knows just the right questions to ask. We cover things I didn't think would be as important as they have been on my path to improving my mental health.
I haven’t been with Betsy long, but I can already see that it is helping me change my mindset. I still have a bit of work to do but it’s so easy to work with Betsy, I don’t feel overwhelmed at all. She’s been amazing so far.
Friendly, caring and would highly recommend!
I think she is a great listener and understands the issues that I wiuld like to tackle and helps me with articles and conversations that relate to my life
Betsy has been kind and understanding in my two sessions with her so far, but has also had a ton of advice to offer which I feel has jump started my efforts towards getting better. I am very happy with her counseling so far and am looking forward to future sessions.
Betsy is calm, compassionate, listens without judgement and has great wisdom. I highly recommend her.
Just started with Betsy but so far I am very pleased
She makes me feel understood and in control while feeling vulnerable and working on myself.. glad I found her!
