About Beth
Beth Allen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and addiction. She aims to offer a calm and respectful space where clients can talk through painful feelings and learn practical ways to cope. Her work often centers on emotional healing after loss, trauma, and long-term stress.
She supports people dealing with anger, compassion fatigue, and life changes by teaching skills to regulate emotions and rebuild daily routines.
How Beth works
She also addresses issues like abandonment, codependency, dissociation, and emptiness. Beth uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. She adapts these methods to fit each person's needs and goals.
Sessions focus on small, manageable steps and clear tools to try between meetings. Over two decades of practice have included work with mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, self-harm, and caregiver stress. She also helps people explore family of origin issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, midlife questions, life purpose, and women's issues.
Sessions are offered in English and take place within Pennsylvania practice arrangements. The tone of her work is steady and collaborative, aiming to help people regain a sense of agency and build healthier ways of coping.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and making values-based choices. It helps people move toward what matters even when feelings are hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels most comfortable. Together they choose or blend methods and check in regularly to adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video can support face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and messaging can suit short check-ins, journaling between sessions, or times when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult.
