About Bethany
Bethany Alabi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and relationship concerns. She speaks plainly and listens carefully so clients can say what matters without judgment. Her goal is to help people find workable steps forward and feel steadier in day-to-day life.
Bethany draws on 11 years of clinical experience across settings such as residential substance-abuse care, community outreach, correctional institutions, independent practice, and behavioral health centers.
Background and approach
She uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs, often starting with cognitive behavioral methods and also working with EMDR when trauma processing is needed. Sessions tend to be collaborative. She asks for regular feedback so treatment can be adjusted when something isn’t helping.
Practical skills, behavior changes, and focused processing are common parts of her work with clients. Common concerns she addresses include depression, grief, parenting stress, substance use, self-esteem struggles, and challenges with intimacy and communication. Bethany also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, and life transitions.
Her practice is based in Florida and she holds Florida and Nevada LCSW credentials. Therapy is offered in English and delivered through a variety of online formats to fit different schedules and needs.

Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help when anxiety, depression, or life changes make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms and change unhelpful habits. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-informed method that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact when that approach fits the person's goals.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, what has helped in the past, and preferences for therapy methods. Together they will try techniques and adjust the plan based on what feels useful and safe for the client.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use visual cues and a longer-style conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when someone needs lower bandwidth or a quicker check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging offer short, flexible contact and can work well for ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while still using ACT, CBT, or EMDR-based work.
