Approaches for managing stress and trauma online

Bethaney often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try small behavior changes. CBT is practical and focused on skills people can use between sessions, which helps with anxiety, panic, and mood difficulties.

She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support people who feel stuck or unsure about change. This method focuses on the client’s own reasons for change and helps build momentum without pressure.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Bethaney will talk with each person about goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels useful. The process is collaborative and paced to the client’s needs and comfort.
