About Skip
Rev. Skip Beyer is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who blends clinical work with faith-informed conversation when requested. He draws on 19 years of experience to help people facing addiction, anxiety, depression, grief, and midlife transitions. He aims to meet people where they are and build on existing strengths rather than focusing on weaknesses.
He trained in community counseling and also holds a divinity degree in theology. Sessions may include practical skills from cognitive behavioral therapy and time for listening, reflection, and spiritual resources when clients want them. He emphasizes empathy, compassion, and steady encouragement as people make changes.
His practice addresses a wide range of concerns including sex and porn addiction recovery, alcohol and drug dependency recovery, divorce and infidelity recovery, low self-esteem, and communication challenges. He also supports people managing chronic stress, sleeping problems, anger, ADHD, and the emotional impact of caregiving or aging family members.
Rev. Beyer uses treatment plans that adapt to each person's situation. He offers premarital assessment and communication skills work but is not licensed to provide marital therapy beyond premarital services. Sessions focus on clear goals, practical coping strategies, and identifying strengths to support next steps.
People seeking help can expect straightforward guidance, skill-building, and space to talk through painful events. He encourages taking small, steady steps toward healing and change while honoring each person’s values and background.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Rev. Beyer uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy as central tools. Client-centered work focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience, helping them name strengths and make choices that fit their values. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and addictive urges.Mindfulness-based ideas are also part of his approach. Mindfulness teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily reactions so people can respond rather than react, which can help with stress, sleeping problems, and anger. The therapist will talk with each person about which approaches feel most useful and adjust the plan based on goals and preferences in a collaborative way.
Because the biography does not specify session formats, confirm available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Many people find that being able to meet from where they already are helps maintain momentum between sessions and keeps therapy practical and accessible.
