About Skip
Rev. Skip Beyer is an Indiana-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 19 years of experience. He focuses on issues such as addiction recovery, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and divorce-related concerns. He also addresses a wide range of related struggles including grief, stress, relationship and intimacy issues, and coping with life changes.
He combines clinical approaches with faith-based conversation when clients want that. Sessions can include discussion of scripture alongside therapeutic methods. He emphasizes identifying strengths and building practical steps forward rather than focusing only on problems.
His clinical work draws on cognitive behavioral ideas alongside client-centered listening and mindfulness techniques. He also uses narrative and psychodynamic concepts to look at life stories and patterns that affect day-to-day choices. In sessions he often works on clearer communication, relapse prevention for substance or sexual behavior concerns, and managing mood and anxiety symptoms.
Skip describes working with people on premarital readiness and communication skills, while noting he is not licensed to provide marital therapy except for premarital work. He offers structured plans that adapt to a person’s goals and circumstances. He aims to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different responses in daily life.
Clients who prefer to include spiritual resources can do so, and those who prefer only clinical methods can focus on behavioral and cognitive strategies. To get started he asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so the initial goals can be set.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Rev. Skip Beyer combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy in ways that fit short- and longer-term concerns. CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or support recovery from addictive behaviors. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and building on a person’s strengths to improve communication and decision making. Mindfulness practice teaches simple attention skills to reduce stress, manage cravings, and improve sleep.Choosing the right mix of methods is part of the collaborative work. He will review a person’s goals and preferences, try approaches that make sense, and adjust plans based on what proves helpful. This is meant to be a practical teamwork process where methods are tested in day-to-day life.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and keeping continuity when travel or other demands make in-person visits hard. The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to practice skills between sessions and to check in more regularly without needing long travel times.
