About
Beth Avery is a Connecticut-based licensed clinical social worker with 24 years of professional experience. She has combined roles as a Director of Social Work in skilled nursing facilities, work in doctors' offices and with Visiting Nurses, and a sustained private practice, creating a broad perspective on how physical health and mental health interact.
Her clinical approach is grounded in systems theory - she examines the multiple systems that influence a person’s behavior and works collaboratively to strengthen those systems. Beth views mental and physical wellbeing as closely connected and, with a client’s permission, coordinates with medical providers to better understand how medications and physical health factors might affect psychological symptoms.
Beth brings particular expertise in geriatric social work and supports people facing chronic neurological and autoimmune illnesses such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, and rheumatoid arthritis. She also assists caregivers navigating the emotional ups and downs of caring for a loved one, helps families cope with aging-related mental health challenges, and provides guidance on financial concerns including options for skilled nursing and state assistance programs.
Her practice includes education about using Medicare and Medicaid to help clients remain at home, support for families caring for loved ones with Alzheimer’s and dementia, and strategies for caregiver self-care when caregiving feels like a 24/7 responsibility. Beth conducts geriatric assessments and goal-setting, helps clients advocate for relatives in skilled nursing facilities, and offers support in finding appropriate care settings from in-home care to assisted living or skilled nursing.
She also works with clients facing end-of-life decisions, hospice and anticipatory grief, and those coping with a cancer diagnosis. Beth values an equal therapeutic relationship that is a give-and-take of ideas and suggestions, and she often recommends readings or asks clients to make observations between sessions to support ongoing growth and healing.
She is a Connecticut-licensed clinical social worker, a credential that reflects advanced clinical training and state licensure (CT LCSW 004996).

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?
Many people wonder whether virtual therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is convenience - clients can connect in the way that fits their life, whether by video call, phone, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility makes it easier to attend sessions regularly and integrate therapeutic work into a busy schedule.
Therapists who provide online services are licensed professionals, and clients may choose to switch providers if they want a different fit. For many people, remote therapy offers an accessible, effective route to support and progress.
