About Bethany
Bethany Chime is an Ohio Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and depression. Bethany also addresses concerns such as ADHD, addictions, grief, and issues that arise when households change or merge, including blended family issues.
Her style is direct and person-focused. Sessions aim to clarify what is most pressing and to build practical steps forward. She uses straightforward conversation and evidence-informed techniques to address patterns that cause repeated conflict or distress.
In clinical work Bethany applies Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation grounded in the client's perspective. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that maintain problems. For trauma-related work she uses Trauma-Focused Therapy and EMDR when appropriate.
Typical topics include adjusting to new household roles, co-parenting tensions, communication breakdowns, and the stress of major life changes. Bethany helps people break down these issues into manageable goals and measurable actions.
Her approach emphasizes collaboration on practical skills such as communication strategies, coping tools for anxiety, and steps to repair trust after infidelity or separation. People who prefer clear, task-oriented sessions and a focus on problem solving may find this approach a good fit.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective and priorities. It involves open conversation and reflection to help people recognize their own strengths and choices. This approach is useful when you want someone to help organize thoughts and make practical decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going. It uses short exercises and skill practice to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often chosen for anxiety, mood concerns, and for problem-solving around relationship habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and will suggest approaches based on what’s needed. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it possible to continue work after a life change without rearranging a commute. If you prefer a particular session length or a less camera-focused check-in, mention that when you complete the matching questionnaire so scheduling can reflect your needs.
