About Bethany
Bethany Shrewsbury is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor based in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She works with people coping with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, and common life challenges like parenting, sleep problems, and career concerns. She also lists areas such as ADHD, bipolar, compassion fatigue, and relationship strain among her focus areas.
Bethany uses straightforward, talk-based work that leans on client-centered conversations and practical tools. She draws from cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and from mindfulness to build small daily skills. EMDR is part of her toolkit for addressing trauma and intense memories, and Motivational Interviewing helps when people feel stuck about change.
Her background includes several years working in public mental health settings and hospitals. That experience included crisis stabilization work and supporting veterans in outpatient and forensic contexts. She has experience with grief management and trauma recovery drawn from those roles.
In sessions she concentrates on building a professional working relationship and on concrete steps people can take between meetings. Expect a mix of listening, reflective feedback, and practical exercises aimed at breaking down overwhelming feelings into manageable steps. She encourages people to notice small changes and to try simple strategies between appointments.
Bethany trained at the graduate level in clinical counseling and brings both clinical and crisis experience to the work. People who are carrying guilt, shame, loss, or trauma-related distress may find her approach straightforward and focused on real-life coping moves.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says, helping them clarify feelings and priorities. It is useful for sorting through guilt, shame, and complicated emotions related to loss or relationships.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses short exercises to test new ways of thinking. This approach often helps with anxiety, sleep problems, and negative self-beliefs that feed shame.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) works with distressing memories by guiding attention while processing painful images and reactions; it is commonly used for trauma recovery and intense grief-related memories.
Figuring out which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will help the client and therapist choose methods based on the person’s goals, symptoms, and comfort level. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
