About
Bethany Waite is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who supports individuals as they work through anxiety, stress, and major life transitions. She understands that starting therapy can feel intimidating, so she focuses on meeting each person where they are - honoring the pace, uncertainty, and courage it can take to ask for help. Her style is collaborative and rooted in evidence-based methods, with an emphasis on building clarity, steadiness, and practical change.
With over a decade of clinical work, Bethany brings consistent care to sessions designed around each client’s unique needs and goals. She has experience working with teens, adults, and LGBTQ+ individuals, and she aims to create a supportive environment where clients can explore what is keeping them stuck and what they want to move toward. Together, they look at patterns that may be impacting thoughts, emotions, and relationships, while also developing coping tools that feel realistic and sustainable.
Whether someone is seeking more balance, navigating a difficult season, or simply wanting to reconnect with themselves, Bethany offers a steady partnership for self-discovery, growth, and healing. She welcomes clients who are not sure where to start and reminds them they do not need to have everything figured out before beginning.

Flexible Online Therapy Grounded in Practical, Evidence-Based Care
Bethany Waite draws from approaches that help clients understand what is happening internally and build skills they can use in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, then practicing more supportive alternatives - often helpful for stress, anxiety, low mood, and navigating life changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes making room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters most, which can be useful when someone feels stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from their values. Mindfulness Therapy supports paying attention to the present moment with more steadiness and less reactivity, helping many people improve emotional regulation and coping.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Bethany works collaboratively with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and current challenges, then adjusts the pace and tools to fit what is most helpful. Therapy can be a space to explore patterns, strengthen coping strategies, and build a more grounded relationship with oneself and others.
Online therapy makes it easier to get consistent support without adding extra travel or scheduling strain. Sessions can take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexible options that can fit different comfort levels and day-to-day demands.
