About Betty
Betty Gannon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with four years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, depression, and major life changes. Her work also addresses communication problems, loneliness, guilt and shame, and mood-related concerns.
She has a background that includes case management, inpatient care, and outpatient therapy. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps rather than vague talk. She uses concrete strategies from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people handle intense emotions and make small, measurable changes.
Betty keeps conversations direct and goal-oriented. She helps people notice what’s working, set achievable steps, and practice new skills between sessions. When feelings like panic, self-harm urges, or seasonal low mood appear, she works with clients on immediate coping techniques and longer-term plans.
Her approach draws on strengths-based ideas and practical problem solving. She pays attention to everyday pressures such as work, family demands, and health concerns. Progress is tracked through brief, realistic goals and ongoing check-ins.
Betty’s practice aims to make therapy fit into daily life. She explains tools plainly and offers straightforward assignments people can try between meetings. The first session typically looks at what matters most and sets a simple plan for the next steps.
BHow sessions work
How DBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Online DBT work focuses on learning a few specific skills and practicing them between sessions to reduce intense reactions and panic attacks.Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, achievable changes. It helps clients identify what they want to see happen and build step-by-step plans. Online sessions using this approach often prioritize setting clear next steps and reviewing progress each week.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, past attempts, and daily routines to decide whether DBT skills, solution-focused steps, or a mix fits best. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs evolve.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, since specific options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time. Many people find it simpler to practice skills between sessions when meetings can be slotted into a lunch break or an evening at home. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises for video or phone work depending on what works best for each person.
