Her background includes long-term private practice experience and a Master of Social Work from Arizona State University.

People who want practical tools, calm problem-solving, and a flexible approach may find her style a good fit. The work emphasizes steady progress and strategies that fit into everyday life.

How her approaches translate to online work

Bette uses client-centered work that focuses on listening and on the goals you bring. That approach helps people feel heard and sets the direction for practical work on relationships, parenting, grief, or stress. Cognitive behavioral therapy is used to identify thinking patterns that get in the way and to build concrete coping skills for anxiety, depression, and everyday challenges.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. She will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and together decide which methods to prioritize. That collaborative planning allows techniques to be adjusted as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking so you know how meetings will be held. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and keep check-ins brief when needed. Others appreciate being able to use mindfulness practices and homework tools between meetings so progress continues between sessions.
