About
Bethaney Long is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who brings seven years of clinical practice and more than two decades in the helping professions to her work. She supports children, adolescents, adults, and families facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem concerns, and depression. Her practice also addresses issues such as abandonment, communication difficulties, control issues, mood disorders, panic, phobias, and challenges tied to relationships and life transitions.
She has particular experience with young people managing emotional regulation, behavioral concerns, school-related stress, and family transitions, as well as adults coping with depression, parenting stress, trauma, and major life changes. Bethaney has worked with families involved in child welfare and with situations that require careful navigation of co-parenting and family dynamics.
Bethaney favors a collaborative, person-centered stance that draws on cognitive behavioral methods, motivational interviewing, trauma-focused interventions, and strengths-based strategies. She aims to help clients identify practical coping tools, strengthen relationships, and build confidence while moving toward personal goals at a pace that fits each individual or family.
Remote care informed by CBT, motivational interviewing, and trauma-focused methods
Bethaney integrates several evidence-informed approaches in online sessions, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete coping strategies, and Motivational Interviewing to support clients who are weighing change or facing ambivalence. She also applies trauma-focused interventions and a strengths-based perspective to help people process difficult experiences while recognizing existing resources.
In telehealth conversations she aims to be collaborative and person-centered, working with each client to set goals and choose methods that match their needs. That collaborative fit means tailoring pacing and tools for children, teens, adults, or family members who are navigating mood concerns, anxiety, grief, relationship stress, or life transitions.
