About Scott

Scott Wetherhold is a licensed counselor who works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, struggles with self-esteem, relationship and career concerns, and other life challenges.

Background and approach

He brings five years of clinical experience to helping clients build resilience, clarify values, and find practical ways to manage difficult emotions and transitions. Scott emphasizes collaboration and supports clients in identifying patterns, strengthening coping skills, and reconnecting with sources of purpose and meaning.

His practice integrates several evidence-informed methods to match each client's needs rather than relying on a single technique. Scott draws on cognitive behavioral approaches to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, incorporates elements of acceptance and commitment therapy to foster values-driven change, and uses client-centered principles to ensure sessions remain attuned to the person's experience.

He holds LPC and LMHC credentials (CO LPC LPC.0022857, FL LMHC MH19456) and provides services from Georgia while accepting clients internationally. Sessions are offered through a flexible mix of video, phone, chat, and messaging options to fit a range of schedules and preferences.

How Cognitive and Values-Based Methods Translate Online

Scott uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify and modify thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, and mood difficulties, offering practical tools that translate well to remote sessions. He also employs acceptance and commitment therapy to support people in clarifying values, developing psychological flexibility, and taking meaningful action even in the presence of difficult emotions. These approaches can be helpful for concerns such as depression, panic, grief, life transitions, and problems with motivation or avoidance.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Scott works with each person to assess goals, preferences, and presenting concerns, then tailors methods so sessions feel relevant and doable. He combines structured skill-building with an empathic, client-centered stance so treatment plans reflect the client’s priorities and evolve as needs change.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy times, manage symptoms from home, and practice strategies between sessions with ongoing support from a licensed professional.
