About Beth
Beth Peters is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 22 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and concerns related to LGBT identity and self-esteem.
Beth has worked across settings since 2001, including private practice, community mental health agencies, ministry and faith settings, and both elementary and secondary school environments. She held a role as a school counselor for a decade and holds an MEd in Secondary School Counseling. Beth also completed an EdD in Pastoral Community Counseling and has experience supporting people from a range of faith backgrounds.
In sessions she focuses on clear, pragmatic conversation and collaborative planning. She adapts the dialogue and treatment plan to the person in front of her, using evidence-based therapeutic techniques where helpful. Topics often include panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, life purpose, self-love, and women’s issues.
Beth identifies as both an ally and a member of the LGBTQ+ community and follows continuing education, policy updates, and social changes that affect LGBTQ+ people. Her background includes work with people who have experienced trauma within religious communities and those reassessing evangelical or Pentecostal beliefs.
She describes therapy as a step-by-step process. People can expect straightforward discussion of goals, practical coping strategies, and regular check-ins on progress.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Briefly described, evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on concrete skills and symptom relief. One common approach is practical skills work that teaches breathing and grounding exercises, behavioral changes for panic, and stepwise exposure for anxiety. These methods aim to reduce immediate symptoms and give tools for day-to-day coping.A second approach is trauma-focused care that helps people process distressing memories and manage post-traumatic stress responses. This involves pacing, stabilizing reactions, and building tolerable steps toward revisiting difficult material when the person is ready.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan over time. Clients and the therapist review what helps and what needs changing as sessions progress.
Practical benefits of remote work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular appointments and to choose a meeting style that matches daily routines.
