Delaney Beekmans , LPC

Delaney Beekmans is an LPC who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and concerns around identity and self-esteem. She places emphasis on women’s issues and supports people navigating sexual assault, domestic violence, and struggles related to sexuality and LGBT identity.

She keeps sessions direct and compassionate. Conversations focus on what’s happening now and on practical steps toward feeling steadier. Delaney aims to help clients notice patterns, practice new ways of coping, and build more self-love over time.

Her approach centers on listening first. She asks about what feels most urgent and then helps craft manageable goals. Sessions may include skill practice, emotion regulation exercises, and guided reflection to strengthen day-to-day coping.

Delaney has four years of clinical experience working in Michigan as a licensed professional counselor. She combines that hands-on experience with an emphasis on trauma recovery and mood concerns, including obsessive and compulsive symptoms and post-traumatic stress.

People who come to her often want clearer boundaries, more stable moods, or help processing past harm. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. She supports people who want to build resilience and greater self-understanding.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Delaney uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in ways that fit each person’s needs. One common approach focuses on building emotion regulation skills and practical coping strategies to reduce day-to-day anxiety and mood swings. These techniques teach breathing and grounding practices, activity planning, and step-by-step ways to shift unhelpful thinking.

Another area of focus is trauma-informed work that helps people process past harm and reduce its hold on present life. This approach emphasizes pacing, safety, and gradual exposure to painful memories in ways that support stabilization and resilience. Both approaches can help with social anxiety, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and recovery after sexual assault or abuse.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and happens together. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that match your situation and preferences. If something doesn’t fit, adjustments are made collaboratively until a helpful path is found.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls work well for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a work break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, processing between sessions, or when writing helps you organize thoughts. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around a busy life.
