About Bethany

Bethany Chime is an Ohio-licensed professional counselor with ten years of work in behavioral health. She focuses on practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma, and ADHD. She uses a respectful, down-to-earth style and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is nervous about starting therapy.

Bethany keeps conversations clear and goal-oriented. She listens first and then builds a plan that fits each person's needs.

Background and approach

Sessions are focused on real-life problems like coping with change, managing strong emotions, and handling grief or loss. Her work also addresses concerns that often come up alongside mood and stress issues. Those include addiction, anger, intimacy questions, self-esteem, isolation, and problems linked to adoption or blended families.

She offers support for people dealing with first responder stress, caregiver strain, and the fallout from sexual assault or other trauma. Bethany draws on approaches that help people change unhelpful thinking and process upsetting memories. She combines client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral and trauma-focused work to tailor each session.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, when appropriate, is used as one method to address traumatic memories. She speaks English and provides services from Ohio. Bethany aims to meet people where they are and to adjust pace and methods according to each person's goals.

Signing up begins with a short questionnaire and scheduling that fits the client's situation.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-centered therapy starts with listening and following each person's lead. It focuses on understanding someone's experience and shaping sessions around their priorities, which helps with issues like relationship strain, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior. It teaches specific skills for managing anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and everyday stress through practical exercises and short homework tasks.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, is a trauma-focused method used to process distressing memories. When appropriate, it can reduce the emotional intensity of past events and help people move forward after traumatic experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That plan can change over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers different ways to connect: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when video is not practical, live chat for short check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to schedule appointments, fit sessions into a busy day, or choose the communication style that feels most manageable.
