About Beth

Beth Tabbert is a licensed clinical professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. She supports those facing addiction, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting questions. Beth practices in Illinois and brings ten years of clinical experience to her work.

She creates a straightforward, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about hard things. Conversations are practical and focused on what matters most to each person.

Background and approach

She encourages honest talk about feelings, behaviors, and next steps. Her approach mixes client-centered care with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy. That means she listens closely and also suggests tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.

Motivational interviewing shows up when someone needs support making a change, and trauma-focused methods are used when past events affect day-to-day life. Sessions tend to be collaborative and paced to the client. Beth works to make goals concrete and reachable, and she adjusts strategies as needs evolve.

Parents often find this style useful for managing stress and improving family routines. Beth holds an Illinois LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - credential (IL LCPC 180012444). Her practice includes a range of concerns such as depression, bipolar symptoms, body image, caregiving stress, blended family issues, and communication problems.

She conducts sessions in English and offers several online formats to fit different schedules.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgment. It helps people articulate what matters most and build on their own strengths to make changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings. It offers concrete tools to shift unhelpful thinking patterns and develop new habits for anxiety, depression, or stress.

Motivational Interviewing is collaborative and helps people find internal reasons to change. It can be useful when someone is unsure about changing behaviors related to addiction, health, or lifestyle.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy makes these approaches easier to access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats provide flexibility for busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow continuity of care when in-person sessions are difficult to arrange. Licensed professionals can use these options to keep therapy practical and focused on everyday life.

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.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
