About Beth

Beth Russell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by offering steady, practical support.

Background and approach

Beth listens carefully and helps clarify what clients want to change in their lives. Her work often addresses stress, anxiety, sleep problems, low self-esteem, depression, and substance misuse.

She also helps people struggling with grief, trauma, intimacy-related issues, anger, and difficult life transitions. Beth pays attention to how relationships and early attachment patterns shape current problems.

Therapy with Beth is client-centered and collaborative. She takes a broad view of each person, mixing methods to match the situation.

Sessions are focused on clear goals and useful tools rather than jargon or long theory talks. Practically, she uses techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches, emotionally focused work, and the Gottman Method among others.

That means sessions can include skill building, exploring feelings, and practicing new ways of connecting. Beth adapts exercises to what feels most helpful for each person.

She encourages realistic expectations and steady effort over quick fixes. Beth emphasizes small, concrete steps that can reduce distress and improve relationships over time.

If you are wondering whether therapy might help, she supports people in taking that first step and planning what comes next.

Approaches you can use in online sessions

Beth commonly uses the Gottman Method to help people understand interaction patterns and learn practical skills for clearer communication and fewer conflicts. This approach focuses on specific exercises and conversations that can change how people relate to one another.

She also draws from Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds shape current reactions and emotional needs. That work helps people recognize patterns and build more supported ways of relating. Client-centered therapy is another foundation of her work, which means the session stays focused on the client’s priorities and pace rather than a fixed protocol.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Beth works together with clients to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She may try different techniques and adjust them based on what feels most useful in early sessions.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and exercises that benefit from seeing reactions. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a simpler check-in. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, reflection between sessions, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make therapy more flexible and help fit sessions into busy schedules.
