About Betsy

Betsy Salomon-Auguste is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Illinois. She brings 22 years of experience helping people under stress and facing life shifts. Betsy focuses on building an open, nonjudgmental space so clients can talk through their concerns and find clearer direction.

Her work commonly addresses anxiety and depression, career strain, grief, and parenting stress. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, communication problems, and men's issues. Betsy supports people navigating life purpose, midlife change, and challenges tied to identity, including LGBT concerns.

In sessions she centers practical conversation and steady support. She listens for patterns that cause pain and helps clients try different ways to respond. She also addresses trauma and abuse, abandonment feelings, and forgiveness when those themes arise.

Betsy has experience with caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, and immigration-related strain. She works with people handling anger, jealousy, infidelity, and the ripple effects of family problems. Career coaching and compassion fatigue are also within her focus.

Her approach emphasizes partnership and small, achievable steps. Betsy encourages clients to set goals that fit their lives and to notice real changes between sessions. She welcomes international clients and conducts work in English.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work

Many therapists use evidence-based techniques that focus on thoughts, behavior, and emotion. One common approach helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns so anxiety and low mood become easier to manage. Another approach emphasizes skills practice for communication and relationship challenges, teaching concrete ways to handle conflict and improve intimacy. These methods are practical and often involve homework between sessions to build new habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match techniques to a client's goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying an approach for a few sessions, checking progress, and adjusting the plan together if needed.

The practical benefit of online work is fitting sessions into everyday life. It can make it easier to schedule brief check-ins, avoid travel time, or keep therapy during life transitions. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm what options are available before booking. Online sessions can help people maintain momentum while juggling work, family, or caregiving responsibilities.
