Beth Brunelli , LMSW

Beth Brunelli is a licensed master social worker (LMSW) who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people facing relationship strain, mood concerns, and life transitions. She offers straightforward support for anxiety, depression, grief, and issues that often affect women. Beth writes and talks plainly so someone feeling overwhelmed can understand next steps and feel seen.

Beth draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thought patterns and try small behavior changes. She blends that with client-centered listening so sessions match what a person needs in the moment. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness tools also appear in her work to help with stress, rumination, and coping when life feels intense.

Across a decade of clinical practice Beth has helped people navigate family-of-origin wounds, caregiving stress, blended family dynamics, and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, addictions, and changes that come with midlife and aging. Her approach aims to be practical and respectful rather than full of jargon.

Sessions focus on clear goals and simple strategies you can try between meetings. Beth uses motivational interviewing techniques when people are weighing change so clients feel heard while they consider next steps. She respects each person’s pace and preferences when figuring out what to try.

Beth practices from Michigan and works with English-speaking clients, including those outside the United States. She encourages people to start with a short matching questionnaire and a plan for scheduling that fits their life.

Approach and Options for Online Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that matter, even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by guiding people toward meaningful steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical experiments to reduce distress and strengthen coping. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy so the client sets the pace and direction of work.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Beth will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. Together they will try methods that match the client’s needs and adjust the plan over time based on what helps.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls support face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be less bandwidth intensive, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and text messaging allows ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and travel.
