About Beth
Beth Brantner is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Minnesota with 33 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, bipolar disorder, depression, and major life changes. She also focuses on control issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and social anxiety and phobia.
She uses straightforward conversations to identify what is getting in the way of daily functioning. Sessions often look at unhelpful thoughts and habits and test small changes to see what works. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques alongside client-centered and existential approaches to keep work practical and grounded.
Her background includes long-term clinical work helping people manage mood and anxiety symptoms and navigate recovery from addictive behaviors. She pays attention to patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people learn new ways to respond to triggers and stressors.
In session she listens for what matters most to each person and then maps short-term goals that are concrete and measurable. That can mean tracking thoughts, trying behavioral experiments between sessions, or practicing clearer ways to communicate needs and boundaries.
People who prefer direct, skills-focused work may find this approach useful. Before scheduling, readers should confirm current session formats and logistics to match their situation.
How her approaches translate to online work
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT sessions focus on concrete exercises such as tracking thoughts, doing behavioral experiments, and building coping routines to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.She also draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person's perspective and goals. This approach emphasizes listening and shaping goals together rather than following a rigid plan. Existential therapy is used to clarify values and meaning when people face life transitions or questions about purpose.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences and may combine elements from different approaches as appropriate.
