Betty Gannon

Betty Gannon is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, bipolar mood swings, and depression. She also supports those coping with life changes and feelings of isolation or loneliness. Her style is direct and respectful, and she focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

She brings four years of clinical experience that includes case management, inpatient work, and therapy. That variety shaped a flexible approach - Betty adapts conversations and plans to each person’s needs. She values clear goals and small, steady progress rather than long lists of therapy jargon.

In sessions she uses techniques drawn from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means she blends skills training for handling intense emotions with short-term goal work to build momentum. The result is a mix of emotion regulation tools and focused strategies for what a person wants to change now.

Betty emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in the room. She and the person she’s working with set goals together and adjust the plan as needed. Her aim is to help people develop coping skills, improve communication, and feel more connected to others.

People considering therapy are invited to take a small first step. Betty notes that starting therapy takes courage and she supports clients through the initial scheduling and matching process.

How these approaches guide online work

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, focuses on teaching skills for managing intense emotions and reducing harmful reactions. It offers concrete tools for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help when loneliness or mood swings feel overwhelming.

Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, achievable goals and what works now. Sessions concentrate on practical steps and past successes to build momentum toward clearer daily routines and improved coping with life changes.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Betty will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s goals, needs, and preferences, and she can adjust the plan as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use tools and worksheets from their session in everyday life, helping skills transfer from therapy to real situations.
