About Beth

Beth Tabbert is an Illinois-licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, and a wide range of life changes.

Background and approach

With a background addressing intimacy, eating and body image concerns, parenting and fatherhood issues, and challenges related to attachment and abandonment, she blends practical strategies with empathetic listening to support recovery and growth. Beth holds an LCPC credential and brings a decade of clinical experience across diverse treatment settings to her practice.

Her approach centers on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore emotions and patterns that affect daily functioning and close relationships. She draws on client-centered methods to prioritize each person’s goals, uses cognitive behavioral techniques to address distressing thoughts and behaviors, and applies motivational interviewing and trauma-focused work when appropriate.

Beth aims to help clients build coping skills, strengthen communication, and navigate transitions with clearer perspective and renewed agency.

Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on respecting each person’s experience and building a collaborative connection; online sessions using this approach prioritize empathy and client-led goals so individuals can explore feelings and values at their own pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which often works well in virtual formats because homework, skill-building, and structured interventions can be shared and reviewed between meetings. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on processing and reducing the impact of traumatic experiences through guided techniques and pacing that match a person’s readiness, and it can be adapted for remote sessions with careful collaboration.

Determining the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and symptoms with each client and recommend methods or a combination of techniques that fit their needs. This collaborative process helps tailor treatment so it feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers practical benefits such as flexible scheduling and multiple communication options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats can make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work and family commitments and allow licensed professionals to provide consistent therapeutic support without requiring in-person travel.
