About Bethany
Bethany Chime is an Ohio-licensed professional counselor clinical counselor (LPCC) with ten years of experience. She has worked with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Bethany approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

Background and approach
Sessions emphasize clear skills you can try between meetings and honest talk about what feels hard right now. Bethany uses a mix of approaches depending on the concern. She draws on client-centered methods to follow a person's lead, cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and trauma-informed techniques when past events are affecting current life.
These tools are used to address anxiety, mood changes, relationship strain, and parenting stress. She also supports people coping with grief, addiction, caregiver stress, and complicated family situations like adoption or blended households. First responder stress, impulse issues, and sexual assault recovery are included in her practice focus.
Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Getting started is a short process - complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a session when you are ready.
How her approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy places the person’s experience at the center of sessions and focuses on empathetic listening and collaboration. Online this means conversations follow what feels most important to the client and sessions adapt to the pace someone needs.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In remote sessions Bethany can introduce simple exercises, worksheets, and between-session practice that fit into busy family routines or work breaks.
EMDR and trauma-focused approaches are used when past events continue to cause distress. These methods work toward reducing the hold of painful memories and can be paced carefully in video or phone sessions depending on what the client prefers.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Bethany will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and comfort with different methods, then recommend a plan that can change as needs evolve. Clients are invited to ask questions and shape the focus of therapy together.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video is useful for longer work and exercises, phone calls can fit a break at work, and chat or messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options increase flexibility so therapy can fit day-to-day life.
