About Beth
Beth Kaminsky is a Pennsylvania licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with five years of practice. She focuses on depression, grief, self-esteem, stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Beth also addresses concerns such as addiction, trauma and abuse, anger, and compassion fatigue.
She works with people who are navigating parenting questions, attachment wounds, and communication problems. Beth helps clients notice unhelpful thought patterns and try specific behavior changes. She uses straightforward conversations and practical tasks rather than abstract talk.
Beth draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside attachment-focused and emotionally-focused ways of working. That means sessions often mix short skills practice, values work, and exploring how past relationships shape current reactions. Clients leave with concrete steps to try between meetings.
Her style is collaborative and goal-oriented. She helps people set clear targets, track small changes, and adjust strategies when something isn’t working. Beth pays attention to how mood, sleep, money stress, and relationships affect day-to-day functioning.
She can help with more specific concerns like panic attacks, ADHD-related struggles, body image, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose. She explains options and together with the client decides which steps make sense next.
How her approaches translate to online work
Beth uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients spot and test unhelpful thoughts with brief, doable experiments. CBT sessions often include a clear agenda, practice exercises, and specific homework to try during the week. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify values and commit to small actions that move toward those values despite difficult feelings. ACT helps when people are stuck by focusing on what matters rather than only trying to change feelings.She also uses attachment-based ideas to notice how early relationship patterns show up now, especially in communication and trust. These approaches are combined collaboratively: the client and therapist decide which tools to try based on goals, current problems, and what feels workable in everyday life. That decision is revisited as progress is made.
Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare, or travel. It also allows brief check-ins or focused skill sessions without travel time. The therapist will discuss a plan for session length and frequency that fits the client’s schedule and goals.
