About Beth
Beth Collins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Maine with 25 years of experience. She works with adults facing relationship strain, grief, depression, trauma and compassion fatigue. She also addresses family of origin issues and a range of related concerns such as abandonment, codependency, and caregiving stress.
Beth uses straightforward conversation and practical skills in sessions. She listens for patterns that trace back to early family roles and expectations. She also brings some humor when appropriate to ease tension and help people notice new possibilities.
Her approach blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral methods. That means sessions focus on the person’s experience and on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Together the client and Beth look for small shifts that reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.
Beth draws on long experience working with grief, trauma, relationship problems, and chronic health or caregiving strain. She aims to help people build coping skills, gain clearer perspective, and make concrete changes that fit their lives. Her background includes many years supporting adults through losses and difficult life transitions.
Practical concerns are part of the work. Beth helps people practice new ways of responding, test different ideas between sessions, and notice what works. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience. It means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and follows the client’s priorities so sessions address what matters most. This approach helps with processing emotions and clarifying personal goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In practice that means identifying patterns that keep someone stuck and trying small, practical experiments to change them. CBT is often used for depression, anxiety, and relationship difficulties.
Deciding on an approach happens together. Beth will discuss how these methods fit the client’s goals and preferences and adjust as work progresses. The plan is collaborative and may mix listening-focused work with concrete skill practice.
Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling to appointments. Licensed professionals can use remote meetings to keep momentum between in-person visits or when schedules make regular office visits difficult.
