Bethany Shrewsbury

Bethany Shrewsbury is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, life changes, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, parenting strain, self-esteem struggles, career doubts, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Bethany also focuses on issues like abandonment, attachment questions, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and communication problems.

Her sessions are straightforward and person-focused. She listens, helps clients name what feels most urgent, and uses practical tools to manage symptoms. Conversations often cover thoughts, behaviors, and skills for coping with day-to-day life. Mindfulness is used alongside cognitive strategies to help people notice patterns and try small changes.

Bethany combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral tools and EMDR methods when trauma is involved. Motivational interviewing is used to address ambivalence about change. Sessions aim to be collaborative so the client helps set priorities and pace.

Her background includes work in community mental health, crisis stabilization, veterans clinics, and psychiatric hospital settings. That experience informs how she responds when people are in acute distress or facing complex histories. Bethany’s practical approach reflects time spent supporting people through losses and traumatic events.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on the client’s concerns and priorities. In practice this means listening closely and shaping sessions around what the person brings. It is useful for navigating uncertainty, life changes, and questions about purpose.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sessions often include simple exercises and homework to practice new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and career or motivation concerns.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that helps people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity. When trauma is a core concern, EMDR can be integrated into sessions alongside other methods.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That choice can change as progress is made or new issues arise.

Session formats are not listed in the profile, so confirm available options before booking. Many people appreciate online sessions because they can fit visits around work, avoid travel time, or use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Online work can also make it easier to continue care after a move or during a life transition.
