Bethany Tschappat , LPC

Bethany Tschappat is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with six years of clinical experience. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor/Supervisor (LPC/S) candidate and holds national and specialty certifications, including National Certified Counselor (NCC), Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), and Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP). As owner and clinical counselor of Better Mind - Better You, LLC, she draws on this training to support people facing depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, and major life changes.

Her work is faith-informed and grounded in compassion, emphasizing each person’s unique story while helping them identify and remove barriers to healthier living. Bethany uses a blend of approaches such as EMDR for trauma processing, cognitive behavioral therapy to reshape unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and client-centered techniques that prioritize the client’s perspective and goals. She has experience working with adults, veterans, first responders including nurses, teachers, and those coping with workplace stress, caregiving burdens, or parenting concerns.

Bethany focuses on building self-compassion, strengthening communication skills, and developing practical strategies for lasting change. She aims to create a supportive space where clients can process past experiences, address intimacy and attachment concerns, and move forward with clearer purpose and coping tools.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Bethany integrates several evidence-informed approaches into her online practice to meet a range of needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and learn flexible ways to respond to difficult thoughts and feelings, which can support work on anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, sleep concerns, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that can help people process distressing memories and reduce their ongoing impact.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Bethany works with each person to understand their goals, strengths, and preferences, and she tailors methods to fit what will be most helpful rather than using a single protocol for everyone.

Online therapy with Bethany offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, over the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, accommodate different communication styles, and maintain continuity of care when in-person sessions are not possible.
