Bethany Shrewsbury , LPC

Bethany Shrewsbury is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people coping with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life changes. She supports people facing trauma and abuse, sleep problems, parenting strain, low self-esteem, career questions, bipolar challenges, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses a wide range of related concerns like abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, and communication problems.

Bethany uses a straightforward, person-centered style in sessions. She listens closely and focuses on what the client wants to accomplish. Sessions are practical and paced to the individual's needs, with attention to immediate coping and long-term growth.

Her work draws on approaches such as client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Those methods are used to reduce distress, change unhelpful patterns, and build new ways of coping. She adapts techniques to each person's situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

With five years of experience, Bethany has experience in crisis settings and with people recovering from significant losses and trauma. Her background includes work in community mental health and hospital settings, where she supported people through stabilization and transitions of care.

People describe her as warm and professional. She aims to create a space where emotions can be named, practical steps can be tried, and progress can be tracked. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to set up the first session.

How her approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so clients can name what matters and set their own goals. This approach helps when someone needs support talking through feelings, decisions, or identity questions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replace them with more useful ones. CBT is practical and works well for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with life changes.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to process traumatic memories and reduce the intensity of distressing reactions. It is often applied when trauma or past painful events continue to affect daily life.

Finding the right method is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, then try approaches together to see what helps most. That collaborative way makes adjustments easier as progress is tracked.

Online therapy with Bethany uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit real life. Video is useful for deeper work and nonverbal cues, phone sessions can be easier on low bandwidth days, live chat or messaging suit brief check-ins and ongoing support, and text sessions allow flexible timing. These options give practical flexibility for people juggling work, family, or health needs.
