Cicely Betts , LCSW

Cicely Betts is a trauma-informed Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas who draws on a blend of clinical training and lived experience to support individuals, couples, families, and groups. She earned a B.A. in Business Management from Dillard University in New Orleans in 2005 and completed her Master of Social Work at the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work in 2012, and she applies that foundation to tailor treatment to each person she sees.

Cicely brings training in several evidence-based approaches and adapts sessions to meet individual needs, collaborating with clients to identify goals and build a practical plan for change. She emphasizes the client as the expert on their own life and partners with people to strengthen self-awareness, improve communication, and repair relationships using clear, honest, and compassionate guidance. Her communication style blends directness with warmth and a measure of wit, creating a therapeutic environment that is engaged rather than clinical or distant.

Outside of her professional work, Cicely prioritizes a balanced life that includes time with family and friends as well as restorative solitude. She channels creativity into drawing, writing, and designing functional tools that support organization and well-being. At the core of her practice is a belief in each person’s capacity to heal and grow, and she views her role as helping clients tap into that capacity to pursue more fulfilling lives.
