About Bethany
Bethany Chime is a licensed professional clinical counselor practicing in Ohio. She holds an Ohio LPCC and brings ten years of clinical experience to her work. Bethany focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. She emphasizes respectful, sensitive care and meets people where they are.
Bethany adapts conversations and plans to fit each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Her approach blends client-centered care with evidence-informed techniques to address mood, coping, and life changes. She also supports people dealing with grief, addiction, anger, and intimacy-related struggles.
Adoption and foster care concerns are part of her additional focus areas, and she also pays attention to blended family issues and caregiver stress. Bethany draws on trauma-focused work and EMDR when trauma and past harm are part of the picture. She uses cognitive tools when unhelpful thoughts and behaviors are getting in the way of daily functioning.
Sessions are conversational and practical, aimed at building clearer communication and better coping skills. Bethany encourages small, achievable steps and checks in about what is or isn’t working. She invites people to take the first step and will help set a direction that feels manageable.
Her style is direct and kind, with an emphasis on collaboration. Bethany helps people identify goals and build strategies to meet them. She frames therapy as a shared process where the plan changes as progress is made.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s goals first and creates a supportive space for conversation. In practice that means the therapist follows your lead, asks about what matters to you, and adjusts pace and focus based on your feedback. This approach helps with anxiety, relationship worries, and life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is about identifying unhelpful patterns in thoughts and behavior and trying practical alternatives. It often includes short exercises between sessions and can help with depression, anxiety, and impulsivity. Clients learn step-by-step tools to manage moments of distress.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, called EMDR, targets distress tied to traumatic memories by combining focused recall with guided bilateral stimulation. It is used when past events continue to cause strong emotional or physical reactions and is often paired with trauma-focused methods.
Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the process and is done together. The therapist will talk about the options, check what feels comfortable, and adjust methods as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps match techniques to your needs and preferences.
If you prefer online work, confirm the available session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Many people appreciate online sessions because they can fit therapy into a busy day, take shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Discuss session length and pacing with the therapist to find what works best for your routine.
