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.

Betsy is the kind of therapist everyone deserves to have. She is a great listener and provides advice that is easy and effective when applied to everyday life situations. She has already taught me to look at problems in my life through a different, healthier lens. Betsy rocks!

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!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

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 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.
