About Bethany
Bethany Shrewsbury is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, ADHD, and trauma-related concerns. She uses straightforward, practical methods to help people feel steadier day to day. Her approach aims to reduce overwhelm and improve coping skills for everyday life.
She works in a calm, respectful way that centers the person's experience. Sessions focus on building useful tools such as thought-tracking, behavioral tasks, and mindfulness practices.
Background and approach
Bethany draws on client-centered methods that prioritize each person's goals and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) features in her work to identify unhelpful thinking and try new ways of responding. She also offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for people processing traumatic memories.
Motivational Interviewing is used when someone needs help finding motivation for change. Bethany trained at the graduate level and has five years of clinical experience working across community mental health and hospital settings. That background includes crisis stabilization and work with people experiencing intense loss and trauma.
Her clinical work has involved outpatient and psychiatric hospital environments in Texas. In sessions she blends practical skill-building with a focus on self-compassion. Parents who are juggling sleep problems, caregiving stress, or behavior challenges will find a pragmatic, steady presence.
The aim is to help people manage current demands while building lasting coping habits.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following each person's priorities. It creates room for people to set goals and move at a comfortable pace while building trust and self-understanding.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to test new ways of thinking and reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.
EMDR is used to help people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity. It offers a structured way to revisit difficult experiences while working toward feeling less stuck by them.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk through options, try techniques together, and adjust based on how someone responds and what they want to achieve.
Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging gives flexibility for different needs. Video sessions let people work face to face; phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break. Live chat or messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when writing feels clearer than speaking. These options help people access care that fits their schedule and comfort.
