Bethany Shrewsbury, LPC

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 those dealing with trauma and abuse, sleep problems, parenting strain, caregiver stress, and concerns tied to aging and geriatric issues. Bethany uses straightforward, practical conversation to help people find manageable steps forward.

With five years of clinical experience, she draws on approaches like client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, EMDR, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change, and on building skills that can be used between meetings. Bethany aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through painful events and practice new ways of coping.

She has worked in community mental health and psychiatric settings, including crisis stabilization and services for people with trauma. That background informs her approach to safety and pacing during difficult topics. Bethany favors a practical mix of listening, problem-solving, and skill-building rather than lengthy theory talks.

In sessions she may introduce mindfulness exercises, thought-challenging tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing for trauma recovery when appropriate. Work is collaborative: goals are set together and adjusted as needed.

People who want a down-to-earth therapist for grief, trauma recovery, caregiver strain, or life transitions may find her style personable and steady. She encourages curiosity and small changes that add up over time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and collaborating with the person to set goals and pace. It helps when someone needs a clinician who follows their lead and focuses on what matters most to them.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and everyday stress by teaching skills to change thinking and routine patterns.

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that works through disturbing memories in manageable steps. It can be used when trauma or past loss continues to cause distress and interferes with daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through symptoms, goals, and personal preferences to decide which methods to try. Decisions are collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can also blend skill exercises and homework between meetings to help new habits take hold.
