About Betsy
Betsy Salomon-Auguste is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 22 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family conflict, intimacy concerns, grief, and challenges around career and life changes. She also supports people dealing with self-esteem, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and questions about life purpose.
Betsy talks with clients to understand what feels stuck or overwhelming. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking about relationships, work, and identity. She helps people name patterns like codependency, abandonment fears, or difficulty communicating, and then test different ways of behaving that might work better.
Her background includes long-term clinical work in Illinois, where she has supported people through midlife crises, caregiving stress, immigration-related strains, infidelity, and issues such as guilt, forgiveness, and jealousy. Betsy brings steady, experienced clinical judgment to conversations about parenthood and fatherhood concerns as they affect an individual.
People meet to talk through immediate pressures like anger, stress, and anxiety, and to plan next steps for longer challenges such as depression, grief, or career transition. Betsy uses straightforward questions and practical exercises rather than abstract talk alone. She encourages small experiments between sessions to test what helps.

Therapeutic approaches and working online
Many clinicians combine evidence-based techniques to help people manage symptoms and move toward clearer goals. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking; these methods can help with anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking down problems into manageable parts. Behavioral strategies involve trying new actions in small steps, which is useful for relationship patterns, communication problems, and rebuilding confidence.Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will help the client decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences through collaborative discussion and short trial strategies during sessions.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a work break, or reducing travel time so sessions happen more regularly. Phone meetings can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and video sessions allow visual cues that support relational work. Ask about the exact formats offered when you complete the site matching questionnaire.
