About Bethany
Bethany Alabi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and life changes. She approaches each person with compassion and without judgment. Bethany aims to create a calm space where people can speak honestly and start to heal.
She brings 11 years of experience across many settings, including a residential substance use facility, nonprofit community outreach, correctional institutions, independent practice, and a community behavioral center.
How Bethany works
That variety shaped a flexible style that adapts to different needs. Bethany often uses cognitive behavioral techniques and draws on EMDR, motivational interviewing, and dialectical behavior approaches when useful. Sessions are collaborative and straightforward.
Bethany asks for feedback so treatment can be adjusted to what helps most. She listens for patterns such as control issues, guilt, isolation, or problems with communication and commitment, and then helps people practice new responses. Beyond symptom work, she supports people dealing with parenting strain, career shifts, grief, fertility concerns, and questions about life purpose.
She also addresses addictions, co-occurring conditions, and first responder stress when these arise. Her goal is to help people learn tools they can use outside sessions. Bethany works from Florida and holds LCSW credentials in both Florida and Nevada.
She offers sessions in English and provides several remote formats to fit busy lives.

Online support options
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity over time.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods fit the person’s goals and comfort. Bethany will invite feedback and adjust techniques so sessions match what is helpful and realistic for daily life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and practicing skills with visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, flexible exchanges during a busy day. These options make it easier to get consistent support while balancing work, parenting, and other responsibilities.
