Betsy Clark, LISW-CP, LCSW, CSW

Betsy Clark is a licensed social worker with four decades of clinical experience. She holds LISW-CP, LCSW, and CSW credentials and practices in South Carolina while also holding a Georgia license. Betsy focuses on helping people who are dealing with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and stress related to work and parenting.

She has long experience supporting people facing serious health challenges, including chronic or acute illness. Those concerns inform her work with people navigating end-of-life decisions, hospice-related issues, and the emotional strain of illness. Aging and geriatric issues are an additional focus in her practice.

Betsy adapts her approach to each person. She uses a mix of therapies including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Existential Therapy. Sessions emphasize clear goals and practical steps to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Her style is respectful and compassionate. Betsy listens first, then helps people name what matters and try small, doable changes. She draws on many years of experience to help people handle relationship challenges, parenting stresses, ADHD concerns, self-esteem problems, and life-direction questions.

Beginning therapy with Betsy starts with a simple match process and scheduling. She encourages people who are nervous about starting to take that first step and plans treatment around each person’s needs and circumstances.

How specific approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and still take steps toward what matters to them. It often focuses on values-based action and can help with anxiety, depression, chronic illness, and life-direction questions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms and change unhelpful patterns. It is frequently used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotions in close relationships and can help with communication struggles and stronger emotional connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences and then recommend which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making it simpler to schedule around work or caregiving. Licensed professionals can also adapt exercises and homework for online use so people can practice skills between meetings.
