About Bethany

Bethany Alabi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or life changes. She aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can share what they are facing and find practical ways to move forward.

Bethany writes short-term and longer-term plans with each person so sessions stay focused on real problems and real steps.

Background and approach

She uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and EMDR are among the methods she draws on most often. Bethany often brings in skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Motivational Interviewing when someone needs emotion regulation or help with motivation for change.

Her eleven years of experience include work in residential substance use treatment, nonprofit outreach, correctional settings, community behavioral centers, and independent practice. Those roles shaped how she listens for strengths and patterns in a person’s story. She pays attention to how past events affect daily life now.

In sessions she asks for candid feedback so the approach can be adjusted. That means the plan can change if something isn’t working. She emphasizes small, doable steps that build confidence and reduce overwhelm.

Bethany helps people navigate concerns such as addiction, parenting stress, relationship and intimacy issues, career transitions, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. She invites clients to be active partners in the work and to name what matters most to them.

Online session options

How narrative, ACT, and CBT inform online sessions

Therapy with Bethany often uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. This approach looks at patterns in a person’s life story and finds alternative meanings that reduce shame and isolation. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck and then take actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and teaches practical skills to change feelings and behavior.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bethany will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. She asks for feedback regularly so the plan can shift when something isn’t helping.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations and exercises that use visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging works well for short check-ins, homework support, or quick skill practice between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules.
