She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care questions, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and body image or eating-related worries.

How Bethany’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding a person's experience and responding with empathy. It helps people feel heard and supported while they decide what changes matter most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical tools for changing unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, includes skills for managing strong emotions, improving tolerance for distress, and building better interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Bethany will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She tailors methods over time so therapy stays relevant and practically focused on the problems a person wants to solve.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for a full session with visual cues, while phone calls can fit a shorter check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messages are helpful for quick reflections, homework prompts, and flexible check-ins between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep skills practice consistent.
