Bethany Shrewsbury, LPC

Bethany Shrewsbury is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and trauma. She also supports clients dealing with sleep problems, parenting strain, self-esteem, career questions, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Her approach is practical and direct, aimed at reducing distress and improving daily coping.

With five years of clinical experience, Bethany combines cognitive behavioral tools with client-centered conversation to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. She uses eye movement desensitization and reprocessing as one option for processing traumatic memories and draws on mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. Sessions are focused and collaborative, with concrete steps between meetings.

Bethany brings experience from community mental health, crisis stabilization, veterans care, and hospital settings. That background informs her ability to respond calmly during acute stress and to guide people through periods of big change. She aims to create straightforward plans that fit into everyday life.

People working through relationship stress, family-of-origin issues, divorce, caregiving burden, chronic health problems, or workplace burnout will find a mix of skill-building and supportive listening. She addresses specific topics such as abandonment, attachment concerns, blended family stress, and forgiveness with practical techniques.

Therapy sessions may include talk, skill practice, and mindfulness exercises. Bethany encourages clients to set small, achievable goals and to track progress over time. Her style is warm and focused on helping people regain stability and a clearer sense of direction.

Bethany practices in Texas and offers sessions in English. She works with individuals seeking help for mood challenges, trauma recovery, and life transitions, using methods that match each person’s needs and pace.

How therapy approaches work online

Bethany uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts that increase distress and to practice small behavior changes that bring relief. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep troubles, and managing everyday stress. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people set their own pace for change. That approach supports self-esteem work and navigating difficult emotions.

For trauma, she may offer eye movement desensitization and reprocessing as a way to process painful memories so they feel less overwhelming. EMDR is presented as one of several options to address trauma symptoms and is used when it fits the person’s goals and readiness. Choosing an approach is collaborative; the therapist and client review concerns, goals, and preferences and try methods that match what the person needs.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging make brief check-ins or ongoing support easier, and text can suit people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to attend sessions during work breaks, while managing caregiving duties, or when travel would be difficult.
