How Bethany works
Bethany holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW, and brings twelve years of clinical experience in New York. She has worked with people facing addictions, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and identity-related concerns such as gender dysphoria. The goal is to reduce distress and help people reconnect with their values and priorities.
Therapy often combines short-term goals with deeper work on long-standing problems like low self-esteem, relationship strain, or recurring panic. Bethany includes techniques from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness-based methods alongside solution-focused exercises. Sessions are collaborative and paced to match what each person can manage.
Practical logistics include multiple ways to meet remotely. English-language services are available to people in and outside the United States. Getting started involves a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session when ready.

Online support options
How approach and access come together online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take small steps toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and working at the client’s pace so sessions feel respectful and person-focused.Choosing a method is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which approaches to try and adjust the plan as progress and needs change.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversation windows. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter space is available. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill practice, or times when typing is more convenient. These formats make regular contact easier to arrange and help therapy fit into busy lives.
