About Bethany
Bethany Alabi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She speaks plainly and listens without judgment, creating room for honest conversation. Her style aims to make difficult problems feel more manageable, one step at a time.
She brings 11 years of experience across many settings, including residential substance abuse, nonprofit outreach, correctional institutions, independent practice, and community behavioral centers. That variety gives her a broad view of common life struggles and recovery paths.
Background and approach
Bethany often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and she incorporates EMDR and Motivational Interviewing when those methods fit the situation. In sessions she asks for regular feedback so treatment stays relevant. She prefers a practical approach that focuses on what works for each person.
That means trying strategies, checking how they helped, and adjusting as needed. People come to her for concerns like depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship strain, grief, parenting stress, and career or life transitions. She also addresses issues such as abandonment, caregiver stress, control issues, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
Her work is collaborative. Clients set goals and she offers tools to reach them, such as behavior-focused exercises, grounding skills, and values-based planning. Bethany practices in Florida and carries LCSW credentials in both Florida and Nevada.
How Bethany Uses Evidence-Based Methods Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and then take small actions toward those values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety and depression. EMDR, when used, supports processing past traumatic memories through a structured approach that can reduce distress tied to those memories.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques that fit those goals, and adjust based on what is helpful. Feedback is encouraged so the plan can change when needed and focus stays on what the person wants to achieve.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video allows face-to-face work and skill practice. Phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Text and live chat support ongoing check-ins, quick coping reminders, and flexible communication between sessions.
