About Bethany
Bethany Chime is an Ohio LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with 10 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and depression. Bethany focuses on practical steps people can use right away to manage intense feelings and get through hard moments.
Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. She centers conversations on what is happening now and what a client wants to change. Bethany uses clear, goal-oriented work alongside time to process painful experiences. Sessions often blend talking about current problems with skills practice to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning.
She also brings trauma-focused tools into work with people who carry painful memories. That can mean slowing down, naming what feels unsafe, and practicing grounding and regulation skills before moving deeper. EMDR is listed among the approaches she uses when trauma needs targeted attention.
For relationship and intimacy concerns she helps people notice patterns that lead to repeated conflict. That includes communication strategies, impulse control techniques, and steps to rebuild trust or reduce reactivity. Parenting and caregiver stress are addressed with concrete coping tactics and problem-solving.
Bethany explains therapy in everyday language and keeps sessions practical. Her style suits people who want clear options, straightforward skill practice, and a clinician who will work with them to set realistic goals. To begin, clients follow the site’s intake flow and schedule an initial session.
How Bethany uses core approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on open, respectful listening and helping people set their own goals. It is useful for sorting through relationship conflicts, stress, and everyday decisions by keeping the person’s priorities central.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It teaches concrete skills such as identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing alternate responses, and using behavioral experiments to reduce reactivity and anger in day-to-day life.
EMDR and trauma-focused work are used when past events continue to affect current functioning. These approaches move at the client’s pace, pairing memory-focused processing with stabilization skills so painful memories do not overwhelm present coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Bethany will discuss goals, try methods that fit the concern, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process helps shape an emphasis on skills, processing, or both depending on the person’s needs.
If you prefer online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and reduce travel time around work or caregiving commitments.
