About Beth

Beth Tabbert is an Illinois licensed counselor (LCPC) who helps people handle stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, grief, and major life changes. She focuses on real problems like work stress, parenting strain, eating concerns, and recovery from trauma and abuse. Beth aims to make the first step easier for anyone nervous about starting therapy.

She uses a straightforward, collaborative style in sessions. Conversations are warm and nonjudgmental so people can say what they really feel. Beth works to identify practical next steps, whether that means learning coping skills, addressing patterns in relationships, or planning toward healthier routines.

Her approach draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants to change habits like substance use, and trauma-focused methods are brought in when past harm affects daily life.

Beth has about 10 years of professional experience in a range of clinical settings across Illinois. She is familiar with issues such as attachment and abandonment, blended-family challenges, body image, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, and communication problems.

Sessions are conducted in English. Beth works with people facing a wide variety of concerns including bipolar disorder, parenting difficulties, intimacy-related problems, and career uncertainty.

How approaches like CBT and client-centered work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship so people can talk openly about what matters to them. It helps with stress, relationship concerns, and emotional struggles by centering the person’s own goals and pace.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by teaching concrete skills and small experiments to try between sessions.

Motivational interviewing supports people who want to change habits such as substance use by clarifying personal motivation and breaking ambivalence in a step-by-step way.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This decision is reviewed over time and adjusted as progress and challenges emerge.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing meetings during a lunch break or between appointments. Some formats can also be shorter check-ins or phone conversations that need less bandwidth or no video. Ask about available options when scheduling so sessions match your routine and practical needs.
