About Bethany
Bethany Shrewsbury is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with five years of counseling experience. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, coping with life changes, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, parenting stress, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. She also focuses on family of origin issues and related concerns such as attachment and abandonment.
Bethany uses straightforward, talk-based sessions where people can say what they are feeling and make plans for change. She draws on client-centered approaches to listen and reflect. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. For trauma and grief she includes EMDR as one part of her work when appropriate.
Before private practice she worked in public mental health settings in Texas. That background included crisis stabilization, outpatient services, veterans clinics, and work in adolescent psychiatry settings. Those roles shaped how she responds to sudden stress and grief in the moment.
In sessions she focuses on practical skills for managing symptoms and on understanding how early family roles still influence current choices. She offers coaching on sleep, routines, and symptom coping as part of regular meetings. She also supports people who are sorting out boundaries, communication patterns, and the effects of blended family dynamics.
People who choose her can expect a mix of listening, problem solving, and skill practice. She helps clients set small, achievable steps and reviews progress week to week. To begin, prospective clients follow the site's scheduling flow to complete a short questionnaire and set a first appointment.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. The therapist follows the client's lead, helping people put words to feelings and decide what to try next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and build different habits. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used for some trauma and grief work and involves guided processing of distressing memories to reduce their intensity.Choosing an approach is part of the work. The therapist will review options together, considering the client's goals, history, and what feels manageable. That collaborative process can include trying one method for a few sessions and adjusting based on progress and comfort.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove the need to travel to an office. Therapists licensed in your state can offer techniques like CBT exercises, EMDR protocols where applicable, and client-centered conversations through whatever formats are supported, helping clients practice skills between meetings.
