Bethany Tschappat , LPC

Bethany Tschappat is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. She works with individuals who want clearer boundaries, better self-esteem, and healthier ways to cope with grief, intimacy concerns, sleep problems, or career strain. Bethany writes plainly and listens closely to what matters most to each person.

She combines practical skills with an empathetic, person-centered attitude. Sessions often include goal-setting, learning coping skills, and practicing communication strategies. Bethany uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness-based work to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.

Her background includes six years of clinical practice in South Carolina. She has experience supporting people who face caregiver stress, first responder demands, fertility or cancer-related challenges, and workplace burnout. That experience informs how she helps clients prioritize what they need now and next.

Bethany takes a collaborative approach in session. She helps clients notice unhelpful patterns, try new responses, and track small changes that add up. For people processing trauma, she uses trauma-focused methods alongside grounding and emotion-regulation strategies.

Outside of direct skill work, Bethany addresses deeper issues such as attachment wounds, abandonment fears, guilt, and shame. She aims to help clients build more consistent self-care, stronger communication, and a clearer sense of purpose moving forward.

Approaches that guide online work and healing

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions that align with their values while noticing painful thoughts without getting stuck in them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that can help people process distressing memories and lessen their emotional charge when past events come to mind.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and symptoms, and then recommend strategies to try. This is a collaborative process that can shift over time as needs change.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper discussion and practice of skills, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth, and live chat or messaging can work for shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, manage childcare needs, or follow up between sessions.
