About Bethany
Bethany Chime is an Ohio-licensed professional counselor (LPCC) with 10 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and the aftermath of trauma and abuse. Bethany uses down-to-earth language and a respectful approach to help callers feel heard from the first conversation.
Her sessions are shaped around each person's needs. She listens first, then helps set simple, achievable goals. That can mean learning new coping skills, changing unhelpful thought patterns, or addressing relationship and intimacy concerns that are causing strain.
Background and approach
Bethany also works with people navigating parenting challenges, adoption and foster care issues, blended family stress, and caregiver burden. She helps with communication problems, grief, anger, and feelings of isolation. She addresses mood problems, attention-related concerns like ADHD, and addiction-related struggles too.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, trauma-focused therapy, and EMDR when appropriate. In practice that looks like collaborative conversations, skill-building exercises, and trauma processing tailored to pace and comfort. People who choose Bethany often want straightforward guidance and a calm, steady presence.
She aims to make changes feel manageable instead of overwhelming. If you need a therapist who will listen, plan, and walk alongside you, she can help you take those first steps.

Therapeutic approaches for online parenting support
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience. The therapist follows your lead, reflects what matters to you, and helps you set goals that feel realistic for your life as a parent or caregiver.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings. Sessions include simple exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and try new responses that reduce anxiety, improve mood, or ease parenting stress.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-focused method used to process distressing memories. When appropriate, it can reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and related symptoms so daily life is less disrupted.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about goals, preferences, and what feels doable. Together you can choose which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video lets you work more like an in-person visit. Phone calls use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat or messaging are good for quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around family life.
