About Beth

Beth Brunelli is a licensed social worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan who brings a decade of clinical experience to her work.

Background and approach

She blends cognitive behavioral techniques with motivational interviewing and client-centered values to create practical strategies and compassionate support for people facing depression, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, addiction, trauma, grief, stress, and other life challenges. Her approach is warm, interactive, and tailored to each person’s needs; she emphasizes respect and sensitivity while avoiding stigmatizing labels.

Beth also addresses a broad range of related issues including self-esteem, intimacy challenges, bipolar disorder, ADHD, caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, codependency, domestic violence, loneliness, financial stress, and women’s issues. She draws on mindfulness and acceptance-based methods alongside structured cognitive work to help clients identify patterns, build coping skills, and move toward meaningful change.

Clients who choose her can expect collaborative goal-setting and a flexible treatment plan that reflects their priorities and circumstances. Beth encourages reaching out when ready to begin exploring change and offers support geared toward practical progress and emotional well-being.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Work

CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it often involves concrete skill-building and practical exercises that suit problems like anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes noticing thoughts without getting stuck in them and clarifying values to guide meaningful action, which helps with avoidance, emotional pain, and life transitions. Client-centered therapy centers the relationship, using empathic listening and reflective feedback to help people explore concerns and find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is collaborative rather than fixed. The therapist will work with clients to clarify goals, try techniques, and adapt the mix of CBT, ACT, or client-centered work based on what feels most useful and relevant to each person’s needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, maintain continuity during times of change, and access support from Michigan or other locations where international clients are accepted.
