About Bethany

Bethany Shrewsbury is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression, parenting strain, sleep problems, and trauma-related issues. She also supports people facing career stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and relationship-related worries.

Bethany’s style is straightforward and conversational. She listens to what is happening at home and helps people sort the immediate problems. Sessions focus on practical steps you can use between meetings and on understanding patterns that repeat in daily life.

She draws on client-centered methods that keep the person’s goals central. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. EMDR is one of the trauma-focused approaches she uses when trauma memories are part of the difficulty.

Her background includes work in community mental health settings and roles supporting crisis stabilization and psychiatric services. That experience shaped her interest in grief, trauma recovery, and working with people who have experienced significant losses or stressful events.

In sessions she aims for clear goals and steady progress. People can expect direct problem-solving, some skills practice, and opportunities to talk through painful experiences. If you are juggling parenting, caregiving, or ongoing stress at home, she focuses on manageable ways to reduce strain and improve day-to-day functioning.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping the person set their own goals. Online sessions using this approach tend to prioritize what matters most at home and practical steps to address daily strain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. Used online, CBT often includes short assignments between sessions to practice skills for sleep, anxiety, or mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that works with distressing memories; when appropriate, EMDR can be adapted to remote sessions and used to target traumatic memories and grief.

Finding the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your history, goals, and comfort with different techniques and together decide what to try first. Plans can change as you notice what helps and what does not, and adjustments are part of the working process.

Confirm current session formats before booking, since specific options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people connect from home at a time that suits their schedule. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises, homework, and pacing to fit an online rhythm so sessions feel useful and practical.
