About Betty

Betty Gannon is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, mood struggles, and major life changes. She focuses on improving self-esteem, coping skills, and day-to-day functioning for those feeling overwhelmed by depression, bipolar symptoms, or panic. She brings four years of social work experience across case management, inpatient care, and therapy settings.

That background shapes a practical approach to problems. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on skills you can use between meetings.

Background and approach

Betty uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy techniques to address emotional intensity and to build workable plans. She draws on strengths-based ideas to highlight what already helps you, then expands those tools. Conversations and exercises are tailored to the person in front of her.

In sessions she aims to be respectful, sensitive, and encouraging. She works at a steady pace and adjusts therapy to each person’s needs. Topics she often supports include communication difficulties, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose, and self-love.

Starting therapy is often hard, and she acknowledges that first step takes courage. People who reach out can expect collaborative planning and concrete coping strategies. Betty practices in New York and conducts sessions in English.

Online support

How DBT and Solution-Focused Work Online

Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches concrete skills for handling intense emotions and reducing impulsive reactions. In online sessions this can mean practicing breathing and grounding techniques, then reviewing how they worked between meetings. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, practical steps toward clear goals and helps people notice what already brings even small improvements.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. Sessions may blend DBT skills, solution-focused planning, and strengths-based ideas until a helpful mix is found.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues and work through exercises together. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, coaching between sessions, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or family obligations.
