Betsy Salomon-Auguste , LCPC

Betsy Salomon-Auguste is a licensed clinical professional counselor in Illinois. She brings 22 years of experience helping people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, depression, or major life changes. She focuses on relationship and intimacy concerns, family tensions, parenting stress, and issues that affect self-esteem and life purpose.

Her approach is straightforward and people-centered. Sessions are a place to talk through what feels heavy and to practice new ways of coping. Betsy aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be said out loud and understood.

She has a long background supporting those dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses concerns like abandonment, codependency, communication problems, infidelity, and jealousy. Work may include problem-solving, emotion regulation, and rebuilding trust in relationships.

Betsy also helps with career strain, midlife shifts, aging and caregiver stress, immigration-related issues, and questions about life purpose. She offers practical guidance for parenting strains and fatherhood issues as well as support for LGBT and men’s issues.

Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled in formats that fit modern life. Betsy encourages people who want change to take that first step toward clearer thinking and more manageable emotion.

Evidence-informed work online and how it helps

Betsy draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address common concerns. One approach focuses on teaching emotional regulation and coping skills to reduce anxiety and manage stress; this helps people handle overwhelming reactions and stay more grounded during difficult moments. Another approach emphasizes improving communication and relationship skills so partners and family members can resolve conflict and rebuild trust more effectively.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Betsy collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, comfort level, and the issues they bring. She adjusts techniques over time based on what is helping and what needs more attention.

Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and seeing expressions. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or be used when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching, or support between sessions. These options let people get care that fits their schedule and needs.
