About Beth
Beth Kaminsky is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Pennsylvania. She spends her time helping people manage grief, depression, anxiety, and the stress of major life changes. Beth focuses on clear, practical steps people can try between sessions.
Her practice emphasizes compassionate listening and working with each person’s story. She listens for patterns in how past events still shape feeling and behavior today. That kind of noticing often leads to small, useful shifts in how someone relates to themselves and others.
Background and approach
Beth draws on a mix of approaches to match a person's needs, including Narrative, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Attachment-based ideas. She uses straightforward tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered work to build coping skills and stronger communication. Sessions tend to focus on what matters most right now and on doable changes.
Common concerns she helps people address include parenting stress, addiction struggles, anger, compassion fatigue, and attention-related challenges. She also works on body image, guilt and shame, and issues around abandonment or attachment wounds. With five years of clinical experience, Beth aims to help people reconnect with purpose and steady their mood.
Her style is grounded and empathetic, with an emphasis on collaboration and practical strategies. She supports people who want to feel more in control of their reactions and to move toward clearer goals.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Beth directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and ACT approaches work online
Online sessions can include Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Attachment-based ideas tailored to each person. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves, helping separate problems from identity so new possibilities emerge. ACT focuses on values and actions, teaching practical ways to accept strong feelings while moving toward meaningful goals. Attachment-based approaches help identify early relational patterns and build healthier ways of relating and communicating. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as needs change, keeping the process collaborative and flexible. Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a simpler check-in. Live chat or text-based messaging supports shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection, and quick skills practice between longer sessions. These options let people use the format that best matches their schedule, communication style, and day-to-day needs.Common questions about this listing
