About Bethany

Bethany Tschappat is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina who works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and related life challenges.

Background and approach

She draws on six years of clinical experience to help clients identify obstacles that keep them from living well and to develop practical strategies for moving forward. Bethany emphasizes compassion and a faith-informed perspective while supporting clients through grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting and career stress, and issues such as self-esteem and sleep difficulties.

Her work integrates several evidence-informed methods, including cognitive behavioral approaches, acceptance and commitment techniques, client-centered principles, DBT skills, and EMDR for trauma processing. Bethany aims to bolster self-understanding, communication skills, and resilience so people can address family of origin concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, and other areas like abandonment, fertility-related distress, and first responder challenges.

She offers a collaborative, strengths-focused style that helps clients set goals, practice new coping skills, and build meaningful change over time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression; it provides structured tools and homework that adapt well to remote formats. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values, practice mindfulness, and take committed action toward meaningful goals, which can be explored through conversations and exercises in virtual sessions. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that uses structured processing to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and can be offered online with adapted protocols for guided processing.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative rather than fixed. The therapist will work with each client to consider goals, symptoms, and personal preferences and may combine elements from CBT, ACT, client-centered work, DBT skills, or EMDR to find what fits best for the individual's situation.

Online sessions using video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it possible to engage in therapy with greater flexibility around scheduling and location. These formats support ongoing skill practice, regular check-ins, and access to therapeutic tools while accommodating clients who need adaptable options due to work, caregiving, or mobility constraints.
