Bethany Alabi, LCSW - Therapist in Florida

About Bethany

Bethany Alabi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside a range of personal struggles. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where parents can speak honestly about stress, parenting challenges, grief, or relationship strain. She aims to stand alongside people as they work through difficult moments and build practical coping skills.

Bethany draws on 11 years of experience in many settings, including residential substance abuse care, community outreach, correctional institutions, independent practice, and behavioral health centers.

Background and approach

That variety informs a practical, down-to-earth style that values clear goals and straightforward tools. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also integrates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, which can help when strong memories or trauma are getting in the way of daily life.

Motivational Interviewing and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques appear in sessions when someone needs help finding motivation or learning emotion regulation and communication skills. Treatment is collaborative and shaped by client feedback. Bethany emphasizes that each person is unique and adjusts her approach to fit the individual.

She invites open feedback so therapy stays useful and relevant. Her aim is to help people manage life’s problems more effectively and regain a sense of direction and control. Sessions are offered from Florida by a clinician licensed as FL LCSW SW14893 and NV LCSW 8612-C.

Conversations take place in plain language and focus on practical steps clients can use between sessions.

How Bethany uses evidence-based methods online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values even when feelings are hard. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and finding direction during life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and improving everyday coping skills.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured method for reducing the impact of painful memories so they interfere less with daily life. It can be helpful when past trauma or strong memories are a barrier to functioning.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust based on your feedback. That collaboration helps find what actually helps you move forward.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around family schedules, work, or busy days. They also allow consistent contact and follow-up between meetings so progress can continue even when life is hectic.

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.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
