About Bethany
Bethany Shrewsbury is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, parenting challenges, and trauma. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps parents can use right away. Her work often addresses sleep problems, self-esteem, ADHD, and burnout from caregiving or demanding jobs.
She uses a client-centered approach to build trust and learn what matters most to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
Background and approach
She also uses EMDR for trauma-related symptoms and mindfulness skills to reduce stress in the moment. With five years of clinical experience in Texas, Bethany has worked in community mental health, crisis stabilization, psychiatric hospital settings, and with veteran populations. That background informs her calm, direct style and her comfort managing difficult emotional reactions.
She aims to make sessions feel focused and manageable for busy parents. Sessions are practical and collaborative. She helps people set clear goals, try small changes between sessions, and track progress.
Parents often leave with concrete strategies for sleep, routines, communication, and coping with loss or major life changes. Bethany holds a Master of Science in Clinical Counseling and is licensed as an LPC in Texas. She offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging so support can fit into a parent’s schedule.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to help connect people with scheduling options.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the individual. In online sessions this means the therapist follows the client’s lead, clarifies goals, and adjusts the pace so parents can address pressing concerns first.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. Online CBT often includes brief exercises between sessions, worksheets, and goal tracking that fit into a busy family schedule.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used for trauma-related symptoms and works by having clients focus on memories while guided eye movements or similar bilateral stimulation are used. When done online, the therapist explains each step and adapts pacing so the person feels steady throughout the process.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with clients about their concerns, try methods that match their goals, and adjust techniques based on what helps most. This collaborative process aims to find practical tools that fit family life.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for short check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into school runs, work breaks, or unpredictable parenting days.
