Hi, my name is Betsie Cieslak, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have dedicated my practice to working with children, adolescents, teens, and young adults. I use a strengths-based approach and provide a warm and welcoming environment where clients feel comfortable opening up about difficult emotions and experiences. I work with each individual’s unique needs and circumstances to help guide and assist in improving their overall well-being.
The clients I work with have a range of diagnoses including but not limited to ADHD, Autism, depression, anxiety, anger issues, and mood disorders. I treat individuals who have experienced or struggle with impulsivity, social skills, interpersonal relationships, self-confidence, emotional regulation, emotional distress, anger, self-harm, suicidal ideation, neglect, abuse, abandonment, foster care, and adoption, amongst others.
I use person-centered, evidence-based treatment modalities to assess, diagnose, and treat. I provide a safe environment and objective viewpoint to help clients feel comfortable talking about their life circumstances. Clients see improvement with symptoms including lower levels of anxiety, depression, and anger. Clients gain a sense of self and are able to use the skills learned in many of life's circumstances. Clients process traumas, learn emotional regulation, and feel stable in relationships.
My goal is to help you focus on the present to improve your quality of life and increase happiness.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
