Beth Tabbert

Beth Tabbert is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois with ten years of experience. She helps people dealing with stress and anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, and life transitions. She aims to make the first step feel doable and welcomes straightforward conversation about what’s going on.

In sessions she focuses on listening and building a trusting space where clients can talk honestly. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s pace and priorities. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thought and behavior that get in the way of feeling better.

Beth uses Trauma-Focused Therapy when trauma is central to someone’s concerns, pairing it with practical skills for coping and grounding. Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach when people are weighing big changes or working through addictive behaviors. The work is collaborative and goal-oriented, so each plan is tailored to the person in front of her.

Her background includes work in multiple clinical settings across Illinois, giving her experience with many different life challenges and care needs. She talks with people about grief, intimacy-related issues, body image, parenting strain, and family-of-origin concerns. She also supports people navigating career stress, illness-related stress, and relationship commitment questions.

Sessions are conversational and direct. Beth aims to help clients recognize practical steps they can take between sessions. If you’re ready to begin, she asks for a short matching questionnaire to get started and will schedule sessions based on availability.

How her approaches fit with online therapy

Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on understanding and addressing the impact of traumatic events. It often combines processing of difficult memories with skills for grounding and emotional regulation, which can help when past hurt affects daily life. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person’s experience; the therapist follows the client’s lead and offers empathy to help people clarify what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete strategies to shift unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Beth treats approach selection as a joint process. She talks with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences, and then they decide together what methods to use and how to adapt them over time.

Confirm the available session formats before you book, since the profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, cut down on travel, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let someone use techniques like thought records or grounding exercises right where they happen. Ask about formats and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions can be arranged to work with your daily routine.
