About Bethany
Bethany Kobus is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York with five years of clinical experience. She began her career in social work and brings a background that includes work in outpatient settings and a focus on practical support for everyday challenges. She offers a calm, affirming style in sessions.
Bethany aims to create space for people to talk about what feels stuck, then try small steps that can change day-to-day life.
Background and approach
She listens for strengths and helps shape clear, doable goals rather than long lists of tasks. Her work often centers on stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma-related concerns. She also helps with ADHD, grief, parenting strain, relationship struggles, anger, and self-esteem issues.
Additional focuses include attachment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic health challenges, and adoption or foster care experiences. Bethany uses a blend of well-known approaches in her sessions. Tools come from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, attachment-based and client-centered methods, and EMDR is part of her toolkit.
She adapts those methods to what a person needs in the moment. Sessions are practical and paced to each person's readiness. Bethany emphasizes learning skills people can use between sessions while also attending to emotions that feel overwhelming.
Her goal is to help people move toward more manageable days and clearer relationships one step at a time.

Approaches That Guide Online Sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed steps toward them while managing difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help when life feels overwhelming or when someone wants more meaning and direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It teaches practical tools to change patterns that worsen anxiety, depression, or stress and is often used for mood and worry-related problems.
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current ways of relating. It can help people who struggle with trust, intimacy, or repeated relationship patterns by identifying needs and trying new interaction styles.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Bethany will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level, adjusting as progress unfolds. That teamwork helps make sessions feel relevant and usable.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth and a quieter setting are available. Phone sessions can fit a work break or when video is not practical. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, practice between sessions, or when someone prefers shorter written contact. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around daily demands.
