Beth Tabbert

Beth Tabbert is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with ten years of experience supporting people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and eating or body image concerns. She also helps people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, and major life changes. Beth aims to make the first step feel clearer and more manageable for anyone who reaches out.

She creates a welcoming session where clients can speak honestly about difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on listening first, then working together to build practical steps that feel doable. Beth uses straightforward tools to help people cope day to day and to reduce overwhelming patterns.

Her approach blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing. That means conversations center on the client’s goals while also introducing concrete strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Trauma-focused work is used when past events are affecting present functioning.

Beth has worked in a range of clinical settings over the past decade. Her experience includes supporting people through family and parenting strains, divorce and separation, caregiver stress, and career transitions. She is comfortable talking about issues that touch identity, including LGBT concerns.

People who choose her typically want direct support and clear steps they can practice between sessions. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session based on the available times.

Online approaches that match your goals

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and experiences. The therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead to set priorities and next steps, which helps when someone feels stuck or unsure what they want from therapy.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It introduces clear tools and exercises to reduce anxiety, manage moods, and change unhelpful patterns like negative self-talk or disordered eating behaviors.

Motivational Interviewing helps people find the internal reasons to change. It is useful when someone feels ambivalent about making shifts around addictions, health habits, or other life choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Beth will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That decision is revisited as progress is made and circumstances change.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They can also help when someone prefers working from a familiar environment or needs a quieter setting without camera use. Ask about current session options when scheduling so arrangements match everyday life and goals.
