Betty Gewirtz is a New York licensed therapist with more than 30 years of professional experience. She holds the credentials LCSW and LCSW-R - both are credentials for licensed clinical social workers and reflect advanced clinical training and state licensure.

Over the course of her career she has developed particular expertise in executive and professional coaching, helping individuals clarify goals and move forward in their careers and leadership roles. Her work emphasizes practical, strengths-based support that honors each person as the expert of their own story.

She recognizes that taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage, and she is committed to supporting clients through that process with steady, collaborative guidance.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Betty blends professional coaching with evidence-informed, skills-focused work to help clients reach concrete goals. Her executive and professional coaching emphasizes goal clarification, decision-making, and practical steps to advance careers or navigate workplace transitions. This approach is well suited for clients seeking focused guidance on leadership, performance, or career change.

She also uses skills-based therapeutic techniques that teach practical strategies for managing stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, and attention challenges. These techniques focus on building routines, emotion regulation skills, and coping practices that can be applied between sessions to support day-to-day functioning. For grief, relationship, and life-change concerns she offers supportive, client-centered work that helps people process loss and adjust to new roles and circumstances.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Betty works with each person to identify priorities, preferences, and goals, and together they select methods that fit the client’s situation and pace. Online therapy offers added flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate busy schedules and different communication preferences. This range of options helps make consistent care more accessible while supporting progress between sessions.
