About Beth

Beth Russell is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with nine years of experience. She focuses on relationship and family concerns along with stress, anxiety, sleep problems, mood struggles, and substance use. Beth emphasizes a straightforward, caring presence in sessions and aims to help people notice patterns that get in the way of daily life.

Her approach is grounded in listening first. She creates a calm space where clients can talk through what matters without judgment.

Background and approach

Beth uses clear, practical tools to address things like low self-esteem, motivation, anger, grief, and coping with life changes. Beth draws from therapies that help people understand emotions and behaviors, including cognitive behavioral techniques and attachment ideas. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy and elements of the Gottman Method when relationship issues are present.

Techniques are adjusted to match each person’s needs rather than following a single script. Sessions often focus on small, doable steps. That might mean learning new ways to sleep better, spotting unhelpful thinking patterns, improving communication, or finding healthier coping strategies instead of substance use.

Beth explains options plainly and works together with clients to pick what makes sense for their life. People who choose Beth can expect a steady, practical partner through hard moments. She will listen, help chart next steps, and support clients as they try out new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and expectations. It helps people understand why certain interactions trigger strong emotions and how to build more stable connections with others.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical skills to spot unhelpful thinking and replace it with more helpful habits, which can ease anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and express deeper emotions so they can heal from hurt and improve closeness in relationships. It is useful when intense feelings or repeated patterns are getting in the way of connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest methods that fit. Treatment is collaborative and adjusted over time as needs change.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations from home, while phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offer more flexible ways to check in. These options help people keep continuity of care and use tools and exercises between sessions to reinforce progress.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
