Bethany Shrewsbury

Bethany Shrewsbury is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She works with clients dealing with stress, parenting strain, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue. Bethany also supports people coping with chronic illness, caregiver stress, and career concerns.

Her style is down-to-earth and focused on building a strong working relationship. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. She uses practical exercises, breathing and mindfulness skills, and talk therapy to help people notice what is getting in the way and make small changes.

Bethany draws on a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on the person in front of her. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. EMDR is part of her toolkit for people who are processing trauma and overwhelming memories.

She has five years of experience as an LPC and has worked in community mental health, crisis stabilization, veterans services, forensic settings, and psychiatric hospital care. That background informs her work with grief, trauma recovery, and crisis-related struggles.

People often come to her wanting help to manage grief, reduce anxiety, or regain balance after a major life event. Bethany aims to make therapy a collaborative process that helps clients build coping skills, stronger self-worth, and a clearer path forward.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the client's lead to set goals and pace. It helps when someone needs a calm space to talk through emotions and clarify what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and uses practical exercises to test new behaviors. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress management.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is aimed at helping people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity. It is often used when trauma or overwhelming events are a main concern.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help clients choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow quick check-ins that take less time, and reduce travel. Some approaches translate well to remote work because they rely on conversation and brief exercises that can be done between sessions, and the therapist will guide how to use those tools effectively in day-to-day life.
