About Betsy

Betsy Narveson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Florida with six years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She earned both her undergraduate degree in Psychology and her graduate degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Florida, and has worked in community mental health supporting a range of presenting problems. Betsy emphasizes evidence-based, solution-focused methods and aims to help clients make steady, practical progress toward their goals.

Her approach centers on building trust and collaboration so clients feel understood and supported while working through stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, intimacy-related issues, anger, career questions, coping with life changes, and ADHD.

Betsy has experience counseling children and adults in individual and family settings, and she brings empathy and genuine concern to each therapeutic relationship. She encourages people to step beyond discomfort and take action to create the life they want, tailoring sessions to match client preferences and priorities.

Approaches that guide online sessions



Betsy commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and offers practical skills for managing anxiety, mood challenges, and daily stressors. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaboration, creating space for clients to explore feelings and priorities at their own pace.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the therapeutic process. She works collaboratively with clients to evaluate goals, preferences, and presenting concerns, and will adjust techniques as progress unfolds so the plan remains relevant and helpful.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These formats make it easier to schedule regular sessions, maintain continuity during life transitions, and try different communication styles to find what works best for each client.
