About Beth
Beth Avery is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Connecticut with 24 years of practice experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, trauma and relationship and family concerns. She also supports issues around parenting, caregiving, sleep problems, career stress, intimacy, and compassion fatigue.
Beth has worked in skilled nursing facilities, doctors' offices, visiting nurse programs and in private practice. That mix shaped her view that physical health and mental health affect each other. She looks at medical factors and, with a client's permission, consults with their doctor about how medications or health conditions might influence mood or behavior.
Her approach uses systems thinking. She watches how family, work, medical care and community influence a person. Then she helps strengthen those systems so daily life feels more manageable. Sessions include practical observation tasks and reading suggestions between meetings. She describes the therapist-client relationship as a partnership based on give and take of ideas. Expect direct conversation about problems, steps you can try between sessions, and attention to both body and mind when making a plan.
BHow sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that match those values. It can help with anxiety, depression and coping with life changes by teaching practical ways to face difficult thoughts while moving forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking patterns and builds specific skills to change them. It is often used for anxiety, sleep problems, and depression to create concrete daily habits. Attachment-Based Therapy examines patterns in close relationships and how those patterns shape reactions and expectations. It can be useful for intimacy issues, relationship conflict and attachment concerns.Beth will work with each person to find the best mix of approaches. Deciding which methods to use is collaborative - she reviews goals, symptoms and life context and adjusts as needed. Clients and therapist check in about what’s working and what needs to change as the work continues.
Please confirm available session formats before booking since this profile does not list them explicitly. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time so appointments can be held during a work break or between errands.
