About Betsy
Betsy Salomon-Auguste uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage stress and anxiety. She builds short-term and longer-term plans that focus on relationships, self-worth, and everyday coping skills. Betsy holds an IL LCPC and brings 22 years of clinical experience to her work.
She helps people talk through relationship and intimacy concerns in straightforward terms. Conversations often include improving communication, setting boundaries, and rebuilding trust after hurts like infidelity or jealousy.
Background and approach
Betsy also addresses family conflict and the strain that caregiving or parenthood can bring. Clients come for help with grief, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. Betsy breaks larger problems into small, manageable steps so progress feels clearer.
She also supports career worries, midlife questions, and finding life purpose after big changes. Her practice includes attention to issues that often sit under the surface - guilt, shame, codependency, and forgiveness. Betsy works with people who identify as LGBT and with men's issues, tailoring the work to each person’s values and background.
She accepts international clients and works in English. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. The subscription-based schedule can be canceled at any time.
To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and then schedules according to therapist availability.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used to help people make clear, practical changes. One approach focuses on teaching coping skills and emotion regulation to reduce anxiety and manage stress. This involves learning simple tools you can use when feeling overwhelmed and practicing them between sessions.Another approach emphasizes improving communication and problem solving in relationships. Sessions look at how people express needs and set boundaries, with role-play and specific language to try at home. This work can help with intimacy issues, jealousy, and repairing trust after conflicts.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to match techniques to a person’s goals, values, and daily life. Together they try methods, track what helps, and adjust the plan as needed to keep progress moving.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper conversation, while phone calls can be quicker check-ins or better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow for brief reflections, homework check-ins, or support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
