About Beth

Beth Goodman is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with ten years of clinical experience. She sees adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, anger, and low self-esteem. Beth also works with people dealing with codependency, attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and relationship communication problems.

Beth keeps sessions straightforward and focused. She listens for patterns that keep someone putting others first or losing their sense of self. From there she helps people practice clearer communication and firmer boundaries. Conversations often include looking at how past relationships affect choices today.

She uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and behaviors. Sessions mix talking through recent events with specific skill practice. Beth helps people name stuck feelings like guilt, shame, anger, or isolation and then build small, manageable steps forward.

Her work includes supporting people through separation, divorce, and the fallout of controlling or dependent relationships. She also helps those coping with chronic pain, illness, or caregiver stress to manage emotional load alongside medical needs. Beth pays attention to how identity and self-worth shift under long-term stress.

If you are worried about overgiving, people-pleasing, difficulty saying no, or living around someone else’s moods or drinking, Beth can help you clarify priorities. To begin, follow the site’s process to match and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How evidence-based work translates to online sessions

Many therapists use evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing thoughts, feelings, and behavior patterns. One common technique teaches specific skills for managing anxiety and stress, such as breathing strategies, grounding, and stepwise exposure to feared situations; these skills help reduce day-to-day overwhelm. Another approach focuses on attachment and relationship patterns by looking at how early relationships shape current responses; this helps when someone keeps putting others first or has trouble saying no.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, and together they decide which techniques to try first. That collaborative process means methods can shift over time if something isn’t helping.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a work break, avoiding travel time, or using audio-only when video isn’t needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises for video or phone and use simple at-home practices between sessions to keep progress moving.
