About Betty
Betty Gannon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with four years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, depression, and helping people cope with life changes. She also lists life purpose among her areas of focus. Her work is aimed at adults who feel stuck after a shift in work, relationships, or health.
She draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in short, practical ways. In sessions she helps people identify immediate goals, build coping skills, and practice clearer communication. Conversations are direct and action-oriented, with attention to what can change now.
Her background includes social work roles in case management, inpatient care, and outpatient therapy. That mix shapes a practical approach to mood disorders, panic, and problems like guilt, shame, and isolation. She uses techniques that can be applied between sessions to manage symptoms and daily stressors.
Betty adapts session plans to a person’s current needs and goals. She works with issues such as forgiveness, relationship communication problems, and self-harm risk with straightforward strategies and safety-focused planning when needed. The emphasis is on concrete steps rather than abstract theory.
People who contact her start by answering a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not accepted.
How DBT and Solution-Focused methods are used online
Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches practical skills for handling intense emotions and reducing impulsive reactions. It focuses on distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with panic, mood swings, and persistent anxiety. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable changes and identifies what is already working. It helps people set short-term goals and try specific steps that point toward clearer direction.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss a person’s needs, goals, and preferences and recommend which methods to emphasize. That choice can be reviewed and adjusted as progress is tracked in sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a workday, allow quicker check-ins, or make it simpler to practice skills between meetings. The focus is on making therapy practical and usable in everyday life rather than on abstract discussion alone.
