About Bethany
Bethany Chime is an Ohio LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with 10 years of experience working in counseling settings. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression. Bethany's work also covers parenting challenges, grief, addiction-related struggles, and issues linked to family life and intimacy.
She prefers straightforward conversations. Bethany listens and helps people name what feels most urgent. Sessions are practical and paced to what someone can manage between family, work, and other responsibilities.
Her background includes trauma-informed care and therapies that aim to reduce upsetting memories and rework unhelpful thinking patterns. That means she may use methods that focus on present reactions and how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. She also draws on client-centered ideas that keep each person's concerns central to the plan.
People contact her for help with adoption and foster care stress, blended family challenges, caregiver strain, and communication problems inside households. She also regularly addresses grief, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and recovery from sexual assault or abuse.
Sessions with Bethany will involve setting small goals, trying practical tools between meetings, and checking how those tools are working. She asks questions, reflects what she hears, and adjusts the approach as needed. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule their first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on what matters to the person in the room. The therapist listens without directing and helps clarify priorities and personal strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change patterns that cause distress.These methods are often used together. Bethany will collaborate with each client to decide which approach or mix fits best. She checks goals regularly and adjusts plans based on how well tools and strategies are working in everyday life.
If you are considering online work, confirm the session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around family schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let a person choose a quieter time of day or avoid being on camera if that helps with focus. Ask about the specific session options offered so you can pick what fits your routine.
