Her style blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral and mindfulness techniques to create an individualized plan for each person.

She frames therapy as a collaborative process aimed at exploring perspectives, building coping skills, and supporting meaningful changes.
Training includes a Master of Arts in Forensic Psychology and graduate coursework in clinical mental health counseling, and she holds the credentials LPC and LMHC. Bethany offers a compassionate, down-to-earth approach for those ready to take steps toward clearer thinking, healthier habits, and improved relationships.
Approach-driven online therapy with flexible access
Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration, creating space for clients to express concerns and guide the pace of work while the therapist supports strengths and personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that contribute to distress and uses structured, practical strategies to reduce symptoms and improve functioning. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-focused awareness and acceptance skills that can help manage anxiety, rumination, and emotion regulation.Selecting the right combination of techniques is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine which approaches best match their needs, goals, and values. Together they will try methods, evaluate progress, and adjust the plan so the work stays focused and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing sessions to fit into busy schedules and different comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain consistency, practice skills between sessions, and access care from within Florida without commuting to an office.
