About Beth
Beth Brantner is a licensed mental health professional who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and bipolar challenges. She aims to make talk therapy approachable and practical for people feeling overwhelmed by life changes or persistent worry. She has 33 years of experience as an LPCC, the licensed professional clinical counselor credential in North Dakota and Minnesota.
That history means she has worked with many different kinds of struggles and sees patterns that repeat across problems like social anxiety, guilt, and control issues.
Background and approach
In sessions she listens first and then helps clients name what is getting in the way. She uses clear tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts and to try new behaviors. For people carrying shame or stuck in old habits, she focuses on small, steady steps toward feeling better.
Beth also brings an existential perspective that helps people clarify meaning and personal values during transitions. She encourages clients to consider what matters most and how choices line up with those values. Her style is warm and direct.
Clients can expect compassionate listening, practical strategies, and space to work through forgiveness, guilt, and social fears. Beth supports each person in finding manageable ways to cope and move forward.
How these approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and putting the client's experience first. In this approach the therapist reflects feelings, asks open questions, and helps people feel heard so they can explore change at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers practical exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and build new coping skills for anxiety, depression, and addictive patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That might mean combining listening and values work with targeted CBT exercises over several sessions.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility limits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit brief check-ins or times when turning on video feels like too much. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, to revisit written notes, and to try skills between sessions.
