Beth Donath-Tish , LCSW

Beth Donath-Tish is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with 23 years of experience. She offers a warm, supportive style and focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, stress, and issues that affect self-esteem and relationships. Beth aims to meet people where they are and build a practical plan together.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness techniques, and psychodynamic ideas to guide sessions. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice present-moment skills, and understand long-standing patterns that influence current feelings. Sessions are conversational and grounded in everyday life challenges.

Beth has worked in outpatient psychiatry settings and in school-based support roles in New York City. Her background includes counseling in group home and clinic environments and conducting assessments related to educational planning. These roles shaped her focus on clear communication and collaborative goals.

Common concerns she addresses include grief, compassion fatigue, eating and body image issues, intimacy challenges, anger, ADHD, panic and social anxiety, chronic illness and pain, and workplace stress. She also supports people facing family problems, adoption and foster care topics, and seasonal mood shifts.

Beth favors starting with a phone call or live meeting to get oriented and agree on next steps. Her approach centers on respect, empathy, and teamwork, with an emphasis on practical strategies people can try between sessions.

Online approaches that meet you where you are

Beth uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety, panic, and mood symptoms. CBT is practical and often focuses on skills you can use between sessions.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach breathing, grounding, and awareness exercises. These techniques can help with stress, rumination, compassion fatigue, and emotional regulation by bringing attention back to the present moment.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Beth will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts plans as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging work well for brief check-ins or for people who prefer not to be on camera. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between visits.
