About Bethany
Bethany Alabi offers calm, steady support for people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, grief, and relationship struggles. She speaks plainly and listens closely so clients can say what they need to say without feeling judged. Bethany is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 11 years of experience working in clinical settings in Florida.
She has worked in many settings including residential substance use treatment, community outreach, correctional institutions, independent practice, and behavioral health centers.
Background and approach
That variety shaped a practical style focused on what helps day to day. Sessions typically focus on skills that reduce symptoms and on the thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. Bethany commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
She also draws on EMDR for trauma processing and Motivational Interviewing when people are working through substance use or behavior change. Dialectical behavior strategies are used to teach emotional regulation and coping skills. She asks for honest feedback and tailors work to each person’s needs.
Bethany values collaboration - clients set goals and she helps create a step-by-step plan to reach them. Progress is tracked in concrete ways so people can see what’s changing. Her approach is direct but compassionate.
She aims to help people build practical tools, find clearer direction, and regain a sense of control over life’s challenges.

Online support
Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits and replacing them with more helpful ones; it often includes short exercises and homework between sessions. EMDR is a trauma-focused approach that guides people through structured processing to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and related distress.Bethany treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with the client about goals and try methods that seem likely to help. If something does not fit, she asks for feedback and adjusts the plan so the work stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skills work and EMDR processing, phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option, live chat and messaging support short check-ins and ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and help people keep consistent contact with a licensed professional.
