Therapeutic approaches and online sessions with Bethany

Bethany draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify personal values and learn skills for accepting difficult emotions while committing to meaningful action. ACT is often used for stress, anxiety, and life transitions by focusing on what matters most in each person’s life.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and solution-focused, commonly applied to anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and work-related stress.

For trauma work Bethany is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a targeted approach that supports processing of distressing memories and reducing the intensity of trauma-related reactions. EMDR is frequently used when past events continue to affect daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Bethany and clients collaborate to determine which methods fit a client’s needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and making it easier for busy professionals, caregivers, and those in remote areas to receive care. Licensed professionals can deliver these approaches effectively through virtual formats, allowing ongoing support and continuity of care without requiring travel.
