About Beth

Beth Stratton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - Recredentialed (LCSW-R) in New York with 22 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing depression, anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, grief, and low self-esteem. Her profile also notes focused work around guilt and shame, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, self-love, women’s issues, and workplace stress.

She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Beth listens to what matters most and helps people talk through thoughts and feelings that keep showing up. She encourages small steps toward clearer thinking and steadier moods rather than quick fixes.

In appointments she aims to reduce overwhelm by breaking concerns into manageable pieces. She helps people name strong emotions like shame or guilt, see how those feelings affect choices, and practice different ways of responding. This often includes short-term strategies for panic and anxiety as well as longer conversations about grief and relationships.

Beth’s work reflects two decades in clinical settings, so she has experience with common and complex reactions to loss, stress, and trauma. She pays attention to what a person already uses to cope and looks for practical shifts that fit daily life. Her approach is collaborative and paced to the client’s readiness.

Sessions are organized to be predictable and focused. The profile notes available times primarily on Friday and Saturday, and prospective clients are directed to confirm current session options before booking. Beth conducts her work in English and sees adults in New York.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions

Many of the approaches Beth uses focus on skills that translate well to conversation-based work. Cognitive techniques involve noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing whether they are accurate, and practicing alternative ways of thinking. These methods help with anxiety, shame, and negative self-judgments. Exposure-based steps for panic and trauma reactions use gradual, planned practice to reduce intense reactions and rebuild confidence.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Beth will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals, comfort, and how they respond in early sessions. Progress is reviewed and adjustments are made when something isn't working.

The therapist's biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week and reduce travel time. Phone meetings can be a shorter check-in when video would be difficult, while video sessions allow more visual cues for working through panic, grief, or relationship concerns. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and between-session practices so they fit everyday life without requiring special equipment.
