About Bethany

Bethany Chime is an Ohio-licensed clinician (LPCC) with ten years of professional experience working with people facing a wide range of life stressors. She has supported clients managing anxiety and depression, navigating relationship difficulties, and recovering from trauma and abuse.

Background and approach

Her background also includes work with concerns such as ADHD, addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, and anger, and she brings focused attention to blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care matters, and other family-related stresses. Her style centers on respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she adapts conversations and treatment plans to the needs of each individual.

Bethany uses evidence-informed approaches to help clients identify goals, develop practical coping skills, and process difficult experiences. She encourages taking the first step toward support and aims to create a collaborative space where people can explore change at their own pace.

Bethany provides services in English and practices within Ohio as an LPCC (OH LPCC E.1000463-SUPV).

Evidence-Informed Therapies for Online Care

Bethany often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-focused approaches into her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill building, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress management. Trauma-Focused Therapy and EMDR techniques aim to support processing distressing experiences and reducing the ongoing emotional impact of trauma, using structured approaches to address memories and responses.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all decision. Bethany will work with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and symptoms and then adapt methods or combine approaches to fit the person’s needs and pace. That collaborative planning helps shape treatment targets and the tools used during sessions.

Online therapy with Bethany is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from home or other convenient locations and allow for continued momentum between meetings through messaging and chat options.
