About Betsy
Betsy Narveson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Florida with six years of clinical experience. She aims to make the first steps toward therapy less intimidating and helps people find practical ways to improve their lives. Betsy focuses on building a trusting working relationship and emphasizes genuine concern and compassion as therapy begins.
She prefers collaborative work that centers on the client's goals and preferences. Sessions emphasize measurable progress so people feel their time is productive and moving them toward what they hoped to change. Betsy often uses approaches that are evidence-informed and solution-focused to help people find concrete next steps.
Betsy earned both her bachelor’s degree in psychology and graduate degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Florida. Her background includes work in community mental health settings where she supported a wide range of presenting problems. That experience shaped a practical, down-to-earth style in sessions.
Common concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, self-esteem, anger, career questions, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, and adapting to life changes. Relationships and parenting are particular areas of interest for her, informed by both clinical work and her own family life.
She meets people where they are and works with them to set clear, achievable goals. Betsy welcomes conversations about what someone hopes to change and how therapy can fit into their daily life.
How Betsy’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience. The therapist reflects feelings, asks questions, and helps a person find their own solutions to relationship and parenting concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and works on small, practical changes to reduce anxiety or depression.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Betsy works collaboratively to choose methods that match a client's goals and preferences. Together they check what is helping and adjust the plan as needed so sessions stay productive and relevant to everyday life.
Specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time around work or family schedules. Many people find virtual meetings helpful for maintaining momentum between life responsibilities while still focusing on relationship or parenting goals.
