More about Beth
- 24 years' experience

- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Connecticut. I have been a therapist for 24 years. I have worked as a Director of Social Work in skilled nursing facilities (nursing homes), doctor's offices and at Visiting Nurses while having a private practice. This combination has allowed me to gain insight into how our physical health affects our mental health. I use the approach that one diagnosis or problem does not stand-alone. I assist a client by using a Systems Theory approach. This is done by observing and analyzing all the systems that contribute to an individual's behavior. Together we work on strengthening those systems.
Being healthy mentally and physically work together. If the body is not healthy it will directly affect your mental health.
I work with my clients and, with their permission; work with their doctors to gain insight into how medications and physical health may be affecting the client's mental health.
I hope to be able to help people who want to see the "whole picture". The relationship with the client is one of equality and a give and take of ideas and suggestions.
I will often send interesting articles or ask that you do some observation in between sessions.
You are important... and I look forward to offering you insight into how to heal and be all you can be.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
