Beth Russell , LPC

Beth Russell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on relationship strain, anxiety, sleep trouble, low self-esteem, depression, and addictions. Beth works to understand repeating patterns and helps people clarify what they want for themselves.

She sees how grief, anger, and withdrawal follow losses and hard relationship moments. Beth listens for the stories people tell about themselves and how those stories shape behavior. She asks simple questions to help identify patterns that keep someone stuck and offers practical steps to try between sessions.

Beth's approach is client-centered. That means sessions start with what matters to each person and build from there. She uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to challenge unhelpful thoughts and from Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address hurt in close relationships.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds affect present connections. Techniques from the Gottman Method inform work on communication and intimacy. Beth combines these methods to fit the needs of each person she meets, rather than using the same plan for everyone.

Her work often covers stress, parenting concerns, career worries, trauma and abuse, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. She supports people dealing with bipolar disorder, ADHD, grief, and substance-related struggles. Beth aims to make therapy a calm, straightforward place to think differently and try new behaviors.

How Beth’s Approaches Work Online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current bonds and emotional reactions. Online work with attachment ideas can help people notice patterns in closeness, abandonment fears, and trust, then practice new responses in daily life.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person leads the conversation. In virtual sessions this means the therapist reflects understanding and follows the client's priorities so conversations stay focused on what matters most to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, offers concrete tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online CBT can include guided exercises, thought records, and homework that translate well to phone or messaging formats.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps. This is a collaborative process so clients have input on which techniques to keep or change.

Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or scheduling makes video hard. Live chat and text-based messaging fit brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or people who prefer writing. Together these options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
