About Beth
Beth Brantner is a licensed professional clinical counselor with 33 years of experience in Minnesota. She works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression, addictions, or bipolar mood challenges.

She keeps sessions straightforward and steady. Beth listens first and then helps people name what is happening. Together they look for small changes that can make daily life easier.
Background and approach
The tone is calm and matter-of-fact rather than clinical jargon. Beth uses approaches that fit each person rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. She draws on client-centered work to follow the person’s priorities and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thinking.
Existential ideas are used when questions about meaning, responsibility, or life direction come up. Across decades of practice Beth has learned how to pace treatment so people feel safe trying new ways of coping. She helps clients build clearer thinking habits, steadier routines, and healthier responses to stress.
Practical skills are mixed with time to understand emotions. Sessions can focus on immediate coping skills or on deeper reflection, depending on what the person needs. Beth aims to help people move from feeling stuck to having more options and clearer steps forward.
Therapy approaches and online options
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and experience. The therapist listens without judgment and helps the person clarify what matters most in their life. This approach is helpful when someone needs a steady, empathetic space to sort feelings and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and build better coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress. Sessions often include simple exercises to try between meetings.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist and client talk about goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most. The intention is to match techniques to the person’s needs and preferences rather than insisting on one path.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more interaction is helpful. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work for people who prefer shorter, more frequent exchanges or who want to write through thoughts between sessions. These options let people fit therapy into busy schedules and everyday life.
