About Beth
Beth Brantner is a licensed professional clinical counselor with 33 years of experience helping people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, or bipolar disorder. She focuses on practical steps that reduce shame and social anxiety, and helps people regain a sense of control during life changes.
She works in a calm, patient manner and centers sessions on each person's needs. Beth uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to the client and to build a trusting working relationship. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and try small behavior changes.
In sessions she listens closely, asks clear questions, and offers straightforward tools patients can try between meetings. Beth helps people untangle guilt and forgiveness issues and supports them as they test new ways of coping. Progress is paced to each person's comfort and life demands.
Her long clinical experience in Minnesota has shaped a practical style that balances support with concrete skill-building. Beth aims to help people increase self-awareness, lower distress, and find clearer ways to handle everyday challenges.
To begin, she guides people through small steps rather than dramatic fixes. The work often includes identifying patterns, adjusting reactions, and practicing manageable new habits that fit into daily life.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Client-Centered Therapy places the person and their priorities at the center of sessions. The therapist listens closely, follows what the client brings, and adjusts the pace and focus to match needs. This approach can help when you want a space to sort through feelings and make decisions with a supportive guide.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence mood. It uses simple experiments and small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and address addictive patterns. CBT tends to be practical and goal-oriented, which can work well in regular online meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, life situation, and comfort level. That choice is collaborative and may shift as the work progresses.
