About Beth

Beth Brunelli is a licensed master social worker who focuses on practical, collaborative care. She uses straightforward conversation to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and money and financial issues. Her approach aims to make therapy feel approachable and useful from the first session.

She brings ten years of experience as a mental health clinician in Michigan, with earlier degrees in social work from Northern Michigan University and a master of social work from Michigan State University. That background informs how she organizes sessions and creates treatment plans that fit each person’s life.

Beth’s style is warm and interactive. She treats people with respect and compassion and avoids stigmatizing labels. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs, not a fixed script.

She draws on several evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to make changes but feel uncertain. Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy offer ways to notice thoughts and focus on chosen values.

Her clinical focus includes a wide range of concerns such as grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, and issues that come up in midlife and aging. She also works with concerns like ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, seasonal affective disorder, and intimacy-related problems. Beth helps people set goals and take manageable steps toward them.

How Beth’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and offers practical exercises to change them, which can help with stress, low mood, and relationship patterns. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s own goals and experiences, offering empathic listening and support as the foundation for change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Beth will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Therapy plans are adjusted as progress and priorities change so the approach stays useful.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full commute would be difficult. Some people find phone sessions useful for lower bandwidth or shorter updates, while video sessions support face-to-face conversation; check available formats and pick what fits your routine.
