About Betty
LCSW licensed in New York with four years of clinical social work experience, Betty Gannon helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, depression, and major life changes. She uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. Betty is based in New York and conducts sessions in English.
Betty draws on prior roles in case management and inpatient settings as part of her practice background. She aims to keep sessions practical and focused. Conversations often include skill practice, problem-solving, and short-term goals to address immediate concerns like panic attacks, mood shifts, or overwhelming stress.
In sessions she emphasizes clear communication and collaborative planning. That can mean learning DBT skills for regulating intense emotion or using solution-focused techniques to identify small, achievable steps. She also works on issues such as isolation, communication problems, guilt, shame, and questions about life purpose.
Her approach is straightforward and goal-oriented. She adjusts the pace and topics to each person's needs and checks in about progress regularly. Therapy may include homework between sessions and brief skills coaching during meetings.
Betty practices as a New York LCSW and brings four years of direct clinical experience to online and clinic-based work. People who want practical strategies for daily coping, clearer communication, or managing mood symptoms may find her approach useful.

Practical approaches for online sessions
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is taught as a set of skills for handling intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and building better interpersonal effectiveness. It can help when anxiety, panic, mood swings, or strong reactions get in the way of daily life. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable changes and clear short-term goals; sessions often focus on what works now and on practical next steps.Picking the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That means checking progress, adjusting techniques, and combining DBT skills and solution-focused steps when helpful.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, since options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people maintain momentum between sessions and practice skills in everyday routines.
