Bethany has 13 years of experience in the field and holds a Master of Social Work from the University of Louisville and two bachelor degrees from Morehead State University. Her background includes work across different settings and with a wide range of concerns. This variety helps her match approaches to what a person actually needs.

Her practice often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings and behavior. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters most and Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, realistic changes that move a person forward.

In sessions she emphasizes listening, patience, and practical steps. Clients can expect concrete strategies for panic, anxiety, and coping with big transitions. Bethany also supports people facing compassion fatigue and career stress.

She frames therapy as a collaborative process. Together with each person she sets goals and tracks progress. The focus is on tools people can use in daily life to reduce distress and build skills.

How Bethany Uses Practical Approaches Online

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It helps with anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and managing day-to-day reactions by teaching concrete skills and coping strategies.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking action that aligns with personal values. This approach is useful for people coping with grief, chronic stress, or life transitions. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, achievable steps and past successes to build momentum toward specific goals.

Choosing the right approach is something the therapist and client do together. Bethany will listen to your priorities and try methods that fit your goals and preferences. If an approach isn’t working, she will adjust the plan so sessions feel useful and relevant.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation for skill practice and feedback. Phone calls can work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people send short updates, ask quick questions, or have brief check-ins between sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, school, and family life while keeping the work focused on real-world change.
