About Delaney
Delaney Beekmans is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and struggles with self-esteem. She creates an affirming space for questions about sexuality and identity, and for people who identify as LGBT. Her work is short, clear, and focused on practical steps you can use between sessions.
Delaney emphasizes steady, everyday skills to manage strong feelings. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and practice new ways of coping.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to strengthen emotional regulation and build self-compassion over time. Her practice also addresses serious concerns such as mood disorders, obsessive or compulsive behaviors, and recovery after sexual assault or domestic violence. Delaney supports people who are healing from post-traumatic stress and those managing social anxiety and phobias.
She uses approaches that are grounded in evidence and tailored to each person. With four years of clinical experience and a Licensed Professional Counselor credential, Delaney draws on both clinical training and practical tools. She works with people at different stages of change, whether they need short-term strategies or longer-term work on identity and self-love.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. To begin, a client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to therapist availability. Delaney supports a collaborative process focused on real-world progress and steady recovery.
Evidence-based approaches and online flexibility
Delaney uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on real symptoms and practical change. One common approach helps people recognize and shift unhelpful thinking patterns to reduce worry and anxiety. This method teaches simple tools to test thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce avoidance and increase confidence.Another approach centers on skill-building for emotion regulation and trauma recovery. It teaches grounding and coping strategies to manage intense feelings, and gradual steps to face feared situations or memories in a controlled way. These skills support people working through post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, and mood challenges.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Delaney will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and suggest techniques that fit your life. She tailors the plan and adjusts it as you progress to find what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging for flexibility. Video is useful for a full conversation and nonverbal cues, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can be a shorter check-in or fit into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting sessions into work, family, and daily life.
