About Beth
Beth Brantner is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Minnesota with 33 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, bipolar disorder, and life changes. She also focuses on control issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and social anxiety and phobia.
Beth uses a direct, person-focused style that helps people talk through what they are feeling. Sessions tend to center on practical steps to manage strong emotions and on examining the thoughts that keep painful feelings alive. She also pays attention to how a person makes meaning of hard events and choices.
Over three decades in practice have given Beth experience with a wide range of emotional struggles. She draws on approaches that help people change unhelpful thinking patterns and also approaches that explore personal values and life direction. This gives room for both skill-building and deeper conversation about identity and responsibility.
In sessions she works at a steady pace, helping people notice habits that lead to shame or repeated guilt and testing different ways of responding. She encourages clear, realistic goals and checks what works in day-to-day life. The work is practical and conversational, with attention to feelings, thoughts, and the decisions people want to try.
People who reach out for help with lingering guilt or shame will find a clinician who blends cognitive tools with client-centered listening and existential reflection. Before booking, confirm the current session options and other logistics through the service portal.
How Beth’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to a person. It helps people feel heard and clarifies their own goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and introduces practical tools to change unhelpful thinking patterns. Existential Therapy examines meaning, choice, and responsibility and can help when someone is wrestling with identity or life direction.Finding the best approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative decision can shift as needed, moving between skill-focused CBT work and more reflective existential conversation.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to use workbook exercises and worksheets between sessions. Confirm the session options available and then choose what fits your schedule and daily life.
