Betsey Johnson, LCSW, Therapist in San Marcos, Texas

Betsey Johnson helps patients across Texas feel supported, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change. She provides care at LifeStance Health for adolescents, teens, and adults, offering a steady, compassionate presence for those navigating anxiety, depression, trauma-related concerns, and life transitions. Her approach blends warmth with clinical insight, creating a space where individuals can safely explore challenges and build lasting skills for emotional well-being. Betsey is especially passionate about working with adolescents who are involved in or at risk of involvement with the juvenile justice system. She brings a grounded, nonjudgmental perspective to this work, focusing on behavioral patterns, emotional regulation, and the systemic pressures that shape young people’s experiences. Her practice supports families and youth in building resilience, strengthening communication, and restoring a sense of stability and hope. Her clinical focus includes anxiety, PTSD/trauma, and ADHD, and she incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness-based strategies. She also works extensively with individuals affected by adoption or foster care experiences, military and veteran communities, and women’s mental health, with additional services available based on each patient’s needs. Outside the therapy room, Betsey finds balance in spending time outdoors, traveling, and exploring new places. She fosters kittens, enjoys time with family and friends, and values the grounding energy of fresh air and a good cup of coffee—personal passions that enrich her empathy and presence as a clinician.
