Bethany Shrewsbury, LPC

Bethany Shrewsbury is an LPC who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. She supports people coping with trauma, sleep problems, parenting strain, low self-esteem, career concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Her practical focus also includes relationship and communication struggles and managing bipolar symptoms.

In sessions she listens first and follows the client’s lead. Bethany uses straightforward talk, gentle reflection, and goal-setting to help people notice patterns and try new approaches. She blends client-centered work with cognitive behavior techniques and mindfulness practices to address thoughts, feelings, and everyday habits.

Her background includes five years of counseling experience working in Texas. Bethany has worked in community mental health and hospital settings, where she supported people through crisis stabilization and grief recovery. That experience shaped how she responds to immediate stress and practical problems.

When trauma is part of the story she uses approaches aimed at reducing distress tied to painful memories. She also draws on motivational interviewing to help people find the next right step when change feels hard. Sessions aim for small, doable shifts rather than big promises.

Bethany’s style is warm and steady. She focuses on building a working relationship, helping people try tools that fit their daily life. The pace and goals are set together so work moves at a comfortable, useful speed.

Approaches that guide online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist follows a person’s pace, reflects feelings, and helps clarify what matters most. This approach is useful for people who need a steady, nonjudgmental space to make decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It uses practical exercises and simple experiments to test unhelpful thoughts and build healthier habits. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with everyday stress.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, targets distress tied to painful memories by using guided recall with specific bilateral stimulation. It is often used when trauma or strong traumatic memories are part of the problem and the goal is to reduce emotional intensity around those memories.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That collaborative planning helps shape sessions and decide which techniques to use as progress unfolds.

For practical matters, confirm available session formats before booking since they are not listed in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use tools like worksheets or mindfulness exercises between meetings.
