About Skip
Rev. Skip Beyer is an Indiana-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 19 years of experience. He works with adults dealing with depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, trauma, grief, self-esteem struggles, and related issues such as sleep problems and compassion fatigue.
He combines clinical approaches with faith-informed counseling when clients want that element. Sessions can include scripture alongside therapeutic techniques to address issues like sex and porn addiction recovery, alcohol and drug dependency recovery, and divorce or infidelity recovery. He offers premarital assessment and communication skills coaching but is not licensed to provide marital therapy beyond premarital work.
His clinical toolbox includes client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques (CBT), mindfulness practices, narrative approaches, and psychodynamic ideas. He focuses on listening, reflective feedback, and helping people recognize strengths rather than only pointing out flaws. That practical focus is meant to support change over time.
Skip also addresses attachment, abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, commitment and control issues, and problems that follow natural or human-caused disasters. He works with people facing life-stage concerns such as aging or blended family dynamics.

How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the individual. It helps people feel heard and identify their own goals for guilt, shame, addiction, or mood concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to shift those patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase grounding when strong emotions arise.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than sticking to one fixed method.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Practical benefits of online sessions can include fitting appointments into a workday, shorter check-ins when needed, and not needing to travel to an office. Online work can make it easier to follow up on homework between visits and to use mindfulness or CBT exercises in everyday settings.
