About Bethany

Bethany Shrewsbury is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, parenting stress, low self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and codependency. Sessions use clear language and practical steps rather than clinical jargon.

Bethany typically begins by listening to what feels most urgent. She helps people name patterns that leave them feeling drained or overwhelmed. Conversations focus on day-to-day coping, boundary-setting, and skills that reduce symptoms so people can manage routine demands more easily.

Her approach combines client-centered work with practical methods from cognitive behavioral therapy. She also integrates EMDR for trauma processing and mindfulness techniques to slow down racing thoughts. Motivational interviewing appears when people need support clarifying goals and building motivation for change.

In sessions she uses straightforward tools - thought records, grounding exercises, and short behavioral experiments - and then checks how those tools worked in real life. Bethany works to make goals concrete and measurable so progress is visible between appointments. She encourages small steps that fit into busy schedules.

Bethany practiced in community mental health settings and pediatric psychiatry before moving into outpatient counseling. That background informs her crisis skills and work with people recovering from loss or complex stress. To start, she asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the therapist follows the client's priorities. Online sessions use that same stance to identify what feels most urgent and to set practical goals for each visit.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches simple exercises to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In remote sessions, CBT work often includes short homework tasks, thought records, and behavioral experiments the client can try between appointments.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-processing method that guides people through focused memory work paired with bilateral stimulation. When EMDR is used, the therapist and client plan the steps together and monitor how the memory processing is going during sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and past experiences with different methods to decide what to try first. Plans are adjusted based on what helps most in day-to-day life.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. The emphasis is on practical access and making therapy fit real routines rather than on any single delivery style.
