Background and approach

She also works with mindfulness and dialectical behavior ideas to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. For people who carry painful memories, Beth includes eye movement desensitization and reprocessing methods as part of trauma work. The shared goal is relief from overwhelming feelings and clearer day-to-day functioning.

Beth often supports people dealing with grief, addictions, anger, caregiver stress, and compassion fatigue. She pays attention to family of origin issues, feelings of emptiness, codependency, and struggles with guilt or shame. Sessions aim to make difficult problems feel more manageable and to build steady skills for coping.

Her style is client-centered and collaborative. Beth helps people set realistic goals and chooses techniques that match each person’s situation. She expects progress to come from steady practice and small changes over time.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts and feelings while taking action toward what matters to them. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with practical coping strategies for mood and anxiety concerns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic memories and related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review symptoms, goals, and preferences with each person and suggest a combination of methods that fit their situation. Decisions about pacing and techniques are made together, and adjustments are common as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and the use of worksheets or screen-sharing. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching between sessions, or when writing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep work on coping skills consistent.
