Bethany Shrewsbury, LPC - Therapist in Texas

About Bethany

Bethany Shrewsbury is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, parenting challenges, and sleep problems. She also supports those facing trauma and abuse, ADHD, bipolar concerns, compassion fatigue, and life changes. Bethany writes plainly and focuses on practical steps parents can use at home.

Her sessions are collaborative and grounded in common-sense methods. She listens first, then helps clients try tools that fit their life.

Background and approach

Those tools may include thought-focused work, mindfulness exercises, or trauma-focused interventions. Bethany aims to make steps forward feel doable instead of overwhelming. Bethany has five years of professional experience as an LPC.

Her background includes work in community mental health and hospital settings where she assisted people in crisis and in outpatient care. She has spent time treating grief and trauma and supporting people returning from difficult experiences. In sessions she favors clear goals and simple practices you can use between meetings.

She draws from cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and shift unhelpful thinking. She also uses EMDR for trauma-related symptoms and mindfulness practices to ease stress. Her approach is steady and warm.

She aims to build trust so parents and individuals feel heard and understood. If someone wants practical strategies and calm guidance during tough times, she offers structured help and steady support.

Approaches for online therapy and how they help

Client-centered work focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so clients feel understood. This approach helps when someone needs a calm space to talk through parenting struggles, grief, or daily stressors.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors together and teaches practical skills to reduce worry and low mood. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and coping with life changes.

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a trauma‑focused method used to reduce the intensity of painful memories and their emotional impact. It can help people who carry trauma symptoms or recurrent distress from past events.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs and goals, and then suggest options to try. Together they decide what fits best and adjust methods as progress is made.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. These options let parents and busy people fit therapy into their schedule and continue work between meetings. Remote formats also allow steady, ongoing support without needing to travel to an office.

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.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
