Bethany Chime

Bethany Chime is an Ohio-licensed professional counselor with 10 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma, and depression. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Her work focuses on practical conversation and planning to meet the needs you bring to therapy.

Clients can expect a collaborative style that adapts to their pace. Bethany uses straightforward, goal-focused talk to identify what matters most and to set small steps forward. She tailors sessions so they match each person’s daily life and challenges.

Her background includes ten years of hands-on clinical work in settings that addressed trauma, mood concerns, and relationship strain. Bethany draws on several therapy approaches to respond to different problems rather than using a single, fixed method.

In sessions she often blends client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral methods to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. For people processing past trauma she also uses trauma-focused strategies and EMDR when appropriate to help reduce the hold of painful memories.

Her practical focus includes coping skills for parenting stress, managing ADHD symptoms, navigating grief, and making meaning after major life changes. Bethany encourages clear communication, steady progress, and realistic plans that fit a person’s life.

How Bethany’s Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and working at your pace. It emphasizes understanding your experiences and building goals you choose, which helps when facing life changes or relationship stress.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses practical exercises and short homework tasks to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.

EMDR and trauma-focused strategies are used to address the impact of traumatic memories. These approaches aim to lessen the emotional intensity of past events and support safer functioning in day-to-day life.

Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with you and adapt the plan based on your goals, needs, and what feels most comfortable. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are expected as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer flexible timing around work or family commitments.
