About Betsy
Betsy Clark is a Licensed Independent Social Worker with Privileges (LISW-CP) in South Carolina and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia. She brings 40 years of professional experience to clinical work. Her practice focuses on depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, stress, relationship concerns, parenting, career issues, ADHD, and self-esteem.
She also works with people facing long-term health concerns, chronic pain, cancer, and hospice or end-of-life issues. Betsy helps clients who are dealing with communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, and struggles around money and life purpose. She supports people managing blended family concerns and autism-related issues as part of broader life challenges.
Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when those fit a client's needs. Betsy uses client-centered and existential ideas to keep conversations grounded in what matters to the person in front of her. Sessions are practical and focused on identifying feelings, patterns, and next steps people can try between meetings.
Clients can expect straightforward discussion of goals and options. Betsy adjusts the focus based on what people report about their lives and priorities. She works respectfully and listens for the emotional patterns that underlie repeated problems.

How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and understanding emotional patterns and how they shape relationships and behavior. EFT can help people name feelings that feel overwhelming or hard to describe and then try new ways of responding. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills for noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying what matters most. ACT can help with anxiety, mood struggles, and motivation by linking actions to values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people try small behavioral changes to reduce distress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and decide collaboratively which methods to try based on the client's goals, preferences, and everyday life. That conversation helps shape whether sessions emphasize feelings with EFT, values and actions with ACT, or practical skills with CBT.
