Betsy Clark, LISW-CP, LCSW, CSW

Betsy Clark is a licensed social worker with forty years of practice. She holds LISW-CP, LCSW, and CSW credentials and works from South Carolina. She helps people facing depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. She also supports those coping with career and parenting stresses.

Betsy has long experience helping people with serious chronic and acute health problems. She listens for the practical ways illness affects daily life. She helps clients find manageable steps to reduce overwhelm and regain routine where possible.

Her approach is collaborative and respectful. Betsy adapts conversations and plans to each person's needs. She emphasizes simple, actionable strategies rather than jargon or one-size-fits-all plans.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy plays a role in her work, alongside acceptance and values-based methods. She also draws on client-centered and emotionally-focused ideas to strengthen relationships and self-understanding.

People who come to her can expect clear explanations and straightforward tools. Sessions focus on the problems that matter most now, like stress, parenting challenges, or managing mood shifts. Betsy acknowledges that starting therapy takes courage and offers steady support through that first step.

Approaches and what online therapy looks like

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on understanding how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It breaks problems into manageable parts and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. This method is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and take small actions that match those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can help with chronic illness, persistent worry, and decisions about life purpose. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and building a trusting, respectful relationship so clients can find their own solutions and feel heard.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That shared planning can include trying a blend of techniques and adjusting over time based on what helps.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and interactive exercises, while phone sessions may fit busy schedules or lower bandwidth. Chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when shorter communication fits the day. These options make it easier to schedule regular work on problems without extra travel and help maintain progress between appointments.
