About Skip

Rev. Skip Beyer is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Indiana with 19 years of experience. He helps people dealing with anger, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and stress. Sessions may include discussion of faith and scripture when a client wishes to include them.

Skip draws on client-centered work and cognitive approaches to focus on what people can do now. He listens, reflects, and helps identify strengths rather than dwelling on faults. He also incorporates mindfulness, narrative, and psychodynamic ideas when they fit a person's concerns.

He has a master’s degree in community counseling and a divinity degree in theology. That combination shapes a practice that blends clinical conversation with faith-informed reflection for clients who prefer that. He is clear that premarital work is offered, while marital therapy beyond premarital assessment is not part of his scope.

Typical issues he addresses include sex and porn addiction recovery, alcohol and drug dependency recovery, pre-marital communication, infidelity and divorce recovery, low self-esteem and self-hatred, and sleep or intimacy-related struggles. He also works with trauma, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and ADHD among other areas listed in his specialties.

His sessions aim to build practical skills such as communication and coping strategies. He uses cognitive behavioral strategies alongside listening and reflective conversation. Clients who want faith elements can bring scripture into sessions; others receive purely clinical approaches.

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what the client says. It helps people feel heard and clarifies goals for handling anger or relationship conflict. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, behaviors, and practical skills. It helps with anger, anxiety, depression, and addiction by teaching concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which mix of client-centered conversation and cognitive techniques best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Faith elements such as scripture can be included if the client wants them, otherwise the focus stays clinical and practical.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the exact online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, offer shorter check-ins when that suits someone, and remove the need to travel. Online sessions still focus on building skills for managing anger, improving communication, and reducing stress, and the therapist will adjust methods to fit how a person prefers to work.
