Sessions focus on helping people manage strong emotions like guilt, shame, and isolation. She emphasizes building self-love and clearer communication. Practical tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and skills-based therapies are paired with attention to emotional and bodily experiences.
Bethany uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), attachment-based techniques, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and client-centered principles. She also incorporates somatic ideas and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing when appropriate.
Her style is compassionate and affirming. She works collaboratively to develop strategies that fit daily life. People who want steadier emotion regulation, clearer relationship skills, or help navigating life transitions may find her approach useful.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take action that aligns with their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where choices feel hard to make.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person leads the pace of change. This approach supports self-discovery, emotional expression, and building self-compassion for issues like depression, low self-esteem, and relationship concerns.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk about your goals and try methods that match your needs and preferences. Decisions about which methods to use are collaborative and can shift as progress is made.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time and allowing appointments during breaks or between commitments. It also lets people maintain continuity of care when moving or traveling.
