Beth Schweichler , LCSW

Beth Schweichler is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 24 years of clinical experience. She centers therapy on the person in front of her and aims to help them find practical ways forward. Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and coping with life changes, including concerns common to women.

Beth follows a client-centered approach while blending other methods to match each person's needs. In sessions she listens for what matters most and helps people make choices that fit their values. She aims to build trust so clients feel heard and respected.

Her background includes long-term work with people who have severe mental illness, mood and personality disorders, and trauma-related concerns. She has particular experience supporting those facing grief and loss, and she has more than ten years supervising clinician associates toward licensure.

Beth uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy when helpful to identify unhelpful thinking and to practice new coping skills. She also incorporates eye movement desensitization and reprocessing for trauma work when appropriate. Her flexible approach is meant to meet people where they are.

In the room she focuses on helping people gain clarity, increase self-acceptance, and build practical ways to manage daily life. She supports exploration of life purpose, relationships, workplace stress, addiction concerns, and feelings of isolation or shame. Sessions are aimed at steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How her approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to your priorities. In an online session she will follow your lead, ask questions to understand what matters most, and help you set goals that feel right for you.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. In remote sessions this can mean practicing new ways of thinking, setting small behavioral experiments between visits, and using simple worksheets or exercises sent by text or chat.

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, EMDR, addresses traumatic memories through structured processing. When appropriate, parts of EMDR can be adapted for video or phone sessions so you can work through trauma-related symptoms without traveling to an office.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. She will talk with you about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, and then recommend methods to try. That plan can change over time based on what you find helpful.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls provide a face-to-face feel for deeper conversations, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing connection between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
