About Betina
Betina Bolin is an LCSW with 16 years of professional experience in social work. She works with adults managing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, eating and intimacy-related issues, anger, career challenges, ADHD, and related struggles.
Her approach centers on a client-centered perspective. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a primary framework and draws from other methods when they fit a person's needs. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps clients can try between meetings.
In conversation she listens for how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. She helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and practice alternatives that support steadier mood and better choices. Motivational Interviewing techniques are used to strengthen commitment to change when that is useful.
EMDR and mindfulness methods are also part of her toolbox for clients who find those approaches helpful for trauma processing or grounding. She aims to help people increase self-direction and a sense of control over daily decisions.
Betina practices in Missouri and works in English. She accepts international clients. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and formats.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and partnership. In online sessions she focuses on your priorities, helping you set clear goals and make practical plans to manage anger and stress. This approach helps when someone wants straightforward problem solving and supportive feedback.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Online CBT sessions typically include identifying unhelpful thinking, testing alternative thoughts, and practicing new behaviors between sessions. This can help with anger that comes from recurring thought patterns or stressful situations.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used by some clients for trauma-related anger. In practice this involves guided processing techniques to reduce the intensity of distressing memories or reactions that feed anger responses.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision can change over time as needs and progress evolve.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific methods of meeting. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove the need to travel. These practical conveniences often help people keep consistent momentum while working on anger and related concerns.
