About Bethany
Bethany Shrewsbury is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. She also supports people coping with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, career concerns, bipolar mood issues, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Bethany uses clear, practical language and focuses on what a person needs right now.
Bethany sees therapy as a collaborative process. She centers the conversation on the person's goals and priorities. Sessions aim to make feelings easier to understand and to build skills that work in daily life. She listens closely and helps people try small changes between sessions.
Her background includes five years of clinical work and a range of settings in Texas. Bethany has worked with people in crisis and with those navigating loss and trauma. Her experience has included outpatient and psychiatric hospital work, and roles supporting veterans and forensic referrals.
In sessions she draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral tools, EMDR techniques, mindfulness exercises, and motivational interviewing. Those approaches are used to reduce distress, rethink unhelpful patterns, and process difficult memories. Bethany explains methods plainly and matches tools to each person's needs.
People who choose her often want practical steps and steady support while working through painful experiences. To begin, she guides a plan that fits the person's schedule and goals. Bethany aims to help people build more stable routines, clearer boundaries, and increased self-respect.
How these approaches can help online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. It involves listening closely, reflecting what is said, and helping people find their own answers. This approach is useful for people who want a safe space to make sense of feelings and decide practical next steps.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches ways to notice thought patterns and try different responses. It uses short exercises and behavior experiments to change unhelpful cycles, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method to process difficult memories and trauma; it involves guided techniques to reduce emotional intensity and is often used for trauma recovery.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals and preferences and suggest methods to try. That decision is collaborative and may change as work progresses.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during the day, and make it easier to keep regular appointments. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, client-centered work, and EMDR techniques for remote sessions when appropriate.
