Beth Brunelli, LMSW

Beth Brunelli is a licensed master social worker who offers an approachable, practical style of therapy. She draws on ten years of clinical experience to help people facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and life transitions. Beth works in Michigan and brings a warm, nonjudgmental attitude to each session.

Her sessions focus on clear goals and usable tools. She blends cognitive behavioral techniques with motivational interviewing and mindfulness to help clients change unhelpful thinking and build steady routines. Beth centers the conversation on each person's priorities and adapts the pace to what feels doable.

She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, blended family issues, and aging and geriatric concerns. That can look like planning for changing roles, improving communication, or managing grief and loss as life circumstances shift.

Beth emphasizes collaboration in the therapy room. She listens first, then works with clients to set small, measurable steps. Sessions often focus on skills people can use between meetings, such as thought tracking, values-based action, or short mindfulness practices.

Her background includes a Master of Social Work from Michigan State University and a Bachelor of Social Work from Northern Michigan University. Beth aims to make therapy feel approachable and useful, especially for people navigating midlife changes, caregiver responsibilities, or mood and stress concerns.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters most and take small actions that match their values even when feelings are difficult. ACT is useful for stress, life changes, and problems that involve avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and gives clear steps to change patterns that keep problems going. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and tailoring the conversation to each person's perspective to build trust and clarify goals.

Choosing an approach is part of the work, and the therapist treats it as a joint process. Beth will listen to your goals and try different strategies until something feels helpful. She adapts methods to your needs and checks in about what is or isn't working.

For practical matters, confirm available session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins on stressful days. They also let people use tools like screen-shared worksheets or guided mindfulness exercises during the meeting. Discuss scheduling preferences when you start so sessions can be arranged to suit your routine.
