About Betsy
Betsy Salomon-Auguste is an Illinois licensed clinical professional counselor with 22 years of experience. She focuses on concrete, everyday concerns like stress, anxiety, anger, and relationship strain. Betsy aims to create a calm space where people can say what they feel and start making small changes that add up.
Betsy listens without judgment and keeps conversations direct and practical. She helps people name their patterns, notice what triggers strong reactions, and try different ways of responding.
Background and approach
Sessions often include clear skills to manage intense feelings and improve communication with others. Her background includes long experience supporting people through grief, trauma and abuse, and major life transitions. She also addresses concerns such as self-esteem, intimacy-related worries, career stress, and compassion fatigue.
Betsy works with adults facing complicated family dynamics and parenting stress as individual concerns. Clients describe her approach as steady and focused on useful tools rather than vague talk. She combines attention to emotions with steps you can try between sessions.
The goal is to build skills that reduce overwhelm and help people feel more in control of daily life. Betsy offers therapy in English and accepts international clients. She provides sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
Many therapists use evidence-based techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and teaching practical skills. One common approach is skills-based behavioral work that teaches concrete tools for managing strong emotions like anger and anxiety, such as grounding exercises and paced breathing. This type of work helps people reduce immediate intensity and respond differently in triggering moments.Another useful method focuses on improving communication and relationship skills. It shows how to express needs clearly, set boundaries, and repair conflicts so interactions feel safer and more productive. That approach often helps with intimacy-related issues, jealousy, and family communication problems.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals, test methods, and adjust the plan as needed. Sessions are meant to be team efforts that fit a person's preferences and daily life.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility. Video sessions are close to in-person conversations, phone calls need less bandwidth, live chat can be useful for brief check-ins, and text messages let people share between sessions. These options help make consistent work possible around busy schedules and different time zones.
