About Beth
Beth Anne Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana with eight years of counseling experience. She supports people facing anxiety, depression, addictions, and relationship concerns. Beth brings both personal and professional insight into disability-related challenges, including being hard of hearing herself.
Her style is warm and interactive. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals. She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect and care.
Beth blends several approaches to fit each person's needs.
Background and approach
She uses client-centered methods to follow a person's lead and build trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools help identify thinking patterns that contribute to anxiety and mood problems. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help with stress, panic, and managing strong emotions.
Motivational Interviewing supports people working through addiction or readiness for change. Beth shapes sessions around the individual rather than one fixed method. She has worked with a wide range of concerns beyond anxiety, such as body image, communication problems, workplace issues, and sexual or intimacy-related matters.
Beth also addresses panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and mood disorders with an eye toward doable coping skills. People who want a collaborative counselor who listens and keeps things practical may find her approach helpful. Sessions are tailored to each person's goals and pace, with emphasis on clear steps forward and achievable change.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Beth uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's priorities and build trust through listening and reflection. This approach helps people who need a supportive, nonjudgmental space to talk through anxiety, relationship concerns, or life changes.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT techniques are practical and translate well to remote work for issues like panic attacks, anxiety, mood problems, and stress management.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Beth collaborates with clients to choose which approach or combination feels most useful, and she adjusts methods as goals and needs change over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be simpler on low bandwidth, and text or chat can be used for quick check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These options support flexibility so people can continue progress around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
