About Bethany

Bethany Tschappat is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina who focuses on family and parenting concerns among other stressors. She speaks plain, practical language and helps parents and caregivers sort through overwhelming feelings. Sessions are aimed at small, doable steps that fit busy lives.

Bethany emphasizes compassion and respect for each person’s path. Her work often addresses anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and difficulty sleeping. She uses therapies that teach tools for day-to-day coping and emotional regulation.

Background and approach

Bethany also helps with career stress, caregiver burnout, and intimacy-related issues using structured skill building. Bethany’s approach blends several evidence-informed methods. She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to shift patterns of thinking.

She also uses acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and support committed action. When needed, she integrates EMDR for trauma work and DBT skills for emotion regulation. With six years of clinical experience, Bethany keeps the focus practical.

She guides clients through communication improvements and problem-solving strategies. Her aim is to help people build healthier routines and stronger self-understanding. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Costs vary with location and therapist availability and are billed through a cancelable subscription. To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a session.

How these approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with what matters to them. It focuses on small, values-driven steps rather than trying to eliminate every uncomfortable feeling. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to challenge thinking patterns and change behaviors that contribute to depression or anxiety. It often involves simple homework and real-world experiments between meetings. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma‑focused method that can reduce the intensity of distressing memories when used with proper pacing and preparation.

Choosing a therapy style is a collaborative process. Bethany works with clients to find the best fit based on their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adapts techniques over time so the plan stays useful and realistic for daily life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions around school schedules, work, and caregiving. Many clients find remote sessions let them practice skills in the same spaces where challenges occur, making changes more immediately relevant.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
