About Beth

Beth Allen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, addictions, anger, and compassion fatigue.

She describes her work as practical and person-focused. Sessions involve talking through the current problem, identifying patterns that keep it going, and practicing skills to respond differently. Beth uses a mix of approaches to fit what a person needs in the moment rather than a single method for everyone.

Her background includes extensive work with trauma and mood disorders. She helps people process difficult memories and reduce the emotional intensity those memories can bring. She also spends time on everyday coping skills so clients have tools to manage tough moments between sessions.

Family of origin issues, codependency, dissociation, and feelings of emptiness are areas she often addresses. She also supports people facing caregiver stress, forgiveness work, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose or midlife transitions.

Beth combines acceptance-based strategies with cognitive and behavioral tools. She teaches emotion regulation skills drawn from dialectical behavior approaches and uses mindfulness practices to increase present-moment awareness. The work is collaborative and paced to the client’s readiness.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and changing behaviors that keep problems going, which helps with anxiety, depression, and anger. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that helps reduce the distress tied to difficult memories and can ease intense reactions related to past events.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client review the presenting issues, goals, and what feels workable. They then try methods together and adjust as needed, keeping the process collaborative and paced to the client’s readiness.

Confirm the session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or an audio-only option when less bandwidth is available. Ask about the practical options so sessions align with everyday life and commitments.
