About Bethany

Bethany Shrewsbury is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, sleep problems, and parenting challenges. She works with individuals dealing with trauma and abuse, ADHD, bipolar concerns, compassion fatigue, and career or relationship stress. Her approach aims to make practical change feel possible even when life feels overwhelming.

Bethany uses straightforward conversation and collaborative goal-setting. She draws on client-centered work to keep sessions focused on each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to spot patterns and try small experiments that can ease symptoms over time.

When trauma is central, she may bring in EMDR techniques to process distressing memories alongside mindfulness practices to build calm and present-moment awareness. Motivational interviewing helps when people face big changes or feel stuck and unsure how to move forward.

She trained at the master’s level in clinical counseling and has about five years of professional experience in behavioral health settings. That experience includes crisis work and supporting people through intense life events, which informs a steady, practical bedside manner in sessions.

Sessions focus on what will help day to day: better sleep routines, manageable coping strategies, clearer communication, and practical steps after a loss or major change. People who want a warm but goal-focused counselor may find her style helpful when making gradual, sustainable shifts.

How Bethany’s approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on active listening and helping clients set their own goals. Online sessions using this approach tend to center on whatever feels most pressing to the person and on practical steps they want to try between meetings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In remote sessions CBT is often used to identify unhelpful thinking, try small experiments, and track progress with homework that fits into daily life.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that helps people process distressing memories. When EMDR is used remotely the therapist guides specific protocols while helping the client pace the work and manage reactions.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and will adjust strategies over time. That collaborative planning helps ensure sessions match the person’s needs and comfort level.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit more easily into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Online sessions still focus on practical steps like sleep routines, coping skills, and communication practice that can be used between meetings.
