About Beth
Beth Peters offers calm, steady support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma. She approaches each person with respect and care and adapts conversations to match what they need.

Beth is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, with 22 years of experience across different settings. She has worked in independent practice, community mental health agencies, and spiritual or ministry environments.
How Beth works
Her background also includes elementary and secondary school settings and a decade as a school counselor. She has helped people facing depression, anxiety, panic, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem. Beth also focuses on issues related to sexual orientation and gender identity and stays current on social and policy changes affecting LGBTQ people.
She supports women’s issues and people rebuilding a sense of self after harm. Beth earned a Master of Education in Secondary School Counseling and a Doctor of Education in Pastoral Community Counseling. Those training years shaped her approach to faith and to questions people bring when they are rethinking religious beliefs or processing church-related hurt.
In sessions Beth listens closely and builds a tailored plan with each person. She works together with people to set goals and try practical steps that fit everyday life. Taking the first step can feel hard, and Beth aims to make it feel manageable and hopeful.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online care
Beth uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and rebuild everyday functioning. One common approach focuses on skills for managing anxiety and panic by teaching breathing, grounding, and step-by-step exposure to feared situations; this helps reduce the intensity of panic attacks and anxiety reactions. Another approach addresses trauma and post-traumatic stress by helping people process painful memories at a manageable pace and build practical coping skills to reduce reactivity and improve daily routines. Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Beth will talk with each person about goals, past experiences, and preferences, and then recommend strategies to try together. The plan can change as progress is made or needs shift, and adjustments are made in session with the client’s input. Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video sessions let people use face-to-face work when they want visual connection. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when a less formal check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter, more frequent touchpoints between scheduled sessions. These formats support regular work on skills and make it possible to keep therapy consistent across different routines.Start online instead of waiting
