About Beth
Beth Allen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 20 years of clinical experience. She focuses on common and complex concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem issues.
She helps people who are coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, anger, and addictions. She also addresses related themes like abandonment, caregiver stress, codependency, family of origin issues, and feelings of emptiness. Sessions often include direct work on guilt, shame, forgiveness, and finding life purpose.
Beth uses practical, skills-based methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to introduce concrete tools for mood and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used where emotional regulation and distress tolerance are needed.
For trauma-related concerns she integrates approaches aimed at reducing the impact of past events on daily life. She also works with people who struggle with post-traumatic stress, dissociation, and self-harm tendencies, offering step-by-step strategies to increase stability.
Beth emphasizes straightforward conversation and clear practice tasks between sessions. New clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session to set goals. Costs vary with location and services use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How CBT, ACT and DBT inform online sessions
CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. Online sessions using CBT often include brief skill practice, tracking thought patterns, and concrete homework aimed at reducing anxiety or depressive symptoms.ACT emphasizes values and committed action, helping people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them. In remote sessions this can mean short experiential exercises and goal-setting that fit into daily routines.
DBT provides clear skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. When needed, Beth can introduce DBT-style techniques to help manage intense emotions between appointments.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their goals, symptoms, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.
