About Betsy
Betsy Clark is a licensed social worker in South Carolina and Georgia, holding LISW-CP, LCSW, and CSW credentials, with 40 years of professional experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder and helps with career and parenting challenges.
She also supports adults coping with serious chronic or acute health conditions. Her practice includes work on stress, relationships, ADHD, self-esteem, and issues tied to aging and end-of-life concerns. Guilt and shame are listed among her focus areas and she can address those feelings in sessions.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. She shapes dialogue and treatment plans to fit what each person brings. Expect practical talk about what's happening now and steps to try between meetings.
Betsy uses a mix of approaches, including acceptance and commitment techniques, cognitive behavioral tools, and emotionally-focused methods. She also draws on client-centered and existential ideas to help people consider values, meaning, and patterns that matter to them.
Her background includes long experience supporting people through illness, caregiving stress, and major life transitions. That work often involves concrete problem solving about daily routines, communication, and managing medical or financial strains. She works in English and accepts international clients.
To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a cancellable subscription model.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting controlled by them while clarifying personal values to guide action. It can help with persistent guilt or shame by shifting attention toward valued behaviors and small committed steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It offers hands-on strategies to test unhelpful beliefs, change patterns, and build practical skills for anxiety, depression, and mood instability.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and work with core emotions and attachment-related patterns. This approach can be useful when relationship hurts, grief, or deep-seated shame are central to the work.
Choosing an approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then try methods that fit those needs. That collaborative process means approaches can be mixed and adjusted as the work proceeds.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the options available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving, or treatment schedules, and they may allow shorter check-ins or meetings without travel. Discuss practical scheduling and format details when arranging the first appointment.
