About Beth
Beth Donath-Tish is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 23 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, relationship problems, and anger. Beth also addresses issues like grief, self-esteem, intimacy-related struggles, and coping with life changes.
She trained at Fordham University and has worked across settings including outpatient psychiatry clinics and school-based support for the New York City Department of Education. That work included assessments for special education services and counseling for teenagers in group homes, though she now focuses on adult psychotherapy.
Beth prefers a straightforward, client-centered way of working. Sessions are collaborative - she and the person in therapy set goals and a plan together. She uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
She also uses mindfulness techniques to help clients calm intense emotions and increase awareness of how thoughts and bodily sensations connect. Beth draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that have developed over time and how past experiences influence current reactions.
Her initial contact is usually by phone or a live meeting to get started. Beth values clear communication and respect, and she aims to help people develop manageable strategies for dealing with anger, workplace stress, relationship strain, and other everyday challenges.
How her approaches translate to online work
CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Online sessions can use CBT worksheets, behavioral experiments, and structured goal setting to address things like anger, anxiety, or workplace stress.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. In remote sessions clients learn short exercises they can use during tense moments or before difficult conversations.
Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to repeated patterns and past experiences that shape current reactions. Through talk and reflective questions, clients can begin to notice why certain situations trigger strong feelings and try different responses.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Beth will collaborate with each client to choose approaches that match their goals and preferences. She adapts tools as problems evolve, checking in about what is or isn’t helpful.
