About Bethany
Bethany Kobus is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She brings five years of clinical counseling experience and a prior decade of work as a social worker to her practice. Bethany focuses on practical steps people can take when life feels overwhelming and supports adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and major life changes.
She creates a calm, affirming space where people can speak honestly about painful feelings. Sessions often center on building self-compassion, improving communication, and working through guilt or shame. Bethany helps people develop clear strategies they can use between meetings.
Her work draws on several evidence-informed approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. She also uses attachment-based ideas and acceptance and commitment therapy to address relationship patterns and values-driven change. EMDR and somatic ideas appear in her toolbox for trauma-related concerns.
People who come to her for support often want practical skills plus emotional understanding. She writes plans together with clients and focuses on what will fit into their day-to-day routine. Bethany also pays attention to cultural background and life stage when shaping treatment.
Her practice includes attention to codependency, family of origin issues, parenting stress, grief, and caregiver strain. For anyone ready to take a step toward feeling steadier, she helps make the next step clearer and more manageable.
How Bethany’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, meaningful actions toward them. It helps when people feel stuck and want a clearer sense of purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems down into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connection patterns and can help people understand intimacy, codependency, and communication problems.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Bethany works with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She will adjust techniques over time so sessions stay useful and relevant to everyday life.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving, or travel. It can also let people use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or choose sessions that do not require being on camera. Ask about the available formats and scheduling to see what will fit into your routine.
