About Bethany

Bethany Shrewsbury is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people navigate midlife transitions, grief, trauma, anxiety, and stress. She works with clients who are coping with depression, relationship strain, parenting stress, sleep problems, ADHD, and career concerns. Bethany uses a direct but compassionate approach to make difficult topics easier to talk about.

Her style centers on listening first and then tailoring practical steps. She draws on client-centered work to keep conversations focused on each persons goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques help identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is used when trauma memories are a major concern.

Bethany earned her Master of Science in Clinical Counseling and has five years of professional experience. Her background includes time in community mental health and work with psychiatric services. She has experience with crisis stabilization and has worked in settings that served veterans and emergency referrals.

In sessions she emphasizes practical tools and skill building. Clients can expect to talk through feelings, practice coping skills, and set small, realistic goals between meetings. She also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques to support change.

People often come for help with loss, life changes, or persistent anxiety. Bethany aims to build a steady working relationship and to help people find clearer direction. To begin, readers should confirm current session options before booking.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the person's goals guide the work. It helps people clarify values, make decisions, and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. It often includes short exercises between sessions to practice new skills. EMDR is a trauma-focused approach used to reduce the intensity of painful memories and associated reactions; it is typically introduced when trauma or loss is a main concern.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try approaches that fit the clients needs, and adjust as progress is observed. This collaborative process helps match techniques to goals and comfort level.

Confirm current session formats before booking, as specific options are listed by the therapist. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins on a workday, and reduce travel time. It also lets people continue care if relocating within the same licensure area. Ask about the available session formats when you begin so you can pick what works best for your routine.
