About Bethany

Bethany Walton is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addiction, relationship and family concerns, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She brings a calm, compassionate presence to work with clients facing life changes, chronic illness, caregiving burdens, and the emotional challenges that accompany medical conditions like cancer or chronic pain. Bethany emphasizes practical coping skills alongside emotional processing to help people manage distress and rediscover balance.

Her counseling style is collaborative and client-centered, shaped by evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. With four years of clinical experience, she integrates skill-building, problem-solving, and empathy to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Bethany works with goals like improving sleep, managing anger, navigating career transitions, and addressing codependency or substance concerns. Located in New York and practicing in English, she offers a flexible range of session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Evidence-Based Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and collaborating with the client to identify what matters most, helping people feel heard and supported while they explore options for change. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and coping with chronic illness. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, offering concrete tools for managing intense emotions and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to clarify goals, try strategies that fit the situation, and adjust methods over time so care aligns with individual preferences and life demands.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for those balancing work, caregiving, or medical appointments. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without rearranging daily life, and they allow for ongoing skill practice between sessions when that is helpful.
