About Beth

Beth Stratton is a licensed clinical social worker with twenty-two years of experience helping people manage anxiety, depression, and stress. She focuses on everyday struggles like low self-esteem, relationship strain, grief, and workplace pressure. Beth encourages open conversation and supports clients as they take first steps toward change.

She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to talk through their thoughts and feelings. Sessions emphasize practical strategies you can use between meetings. Beth helps clients build confidence and motivation, and she addresses guilt and shame in a straightforward way.

Many people seek her support for panic disorder and panic attacks, and she brings long-term clinical experience to those concerns. She also works with people coping with post-traumatic stress and issues that often affect women in the workplace and at home. Her approach is focused on what helps someone feel steadier day to day.

Appointments are most often available on Fridays and Saturdays. Beth supports each person in setting realistic goals and tracking progress over time. She aims to make therapy feel like a practical, manageable part of life.

Location and licensure are based in New York, and sessions are offered in English. Beth uses her years of practice to guide conversations toward clear steps clients can try between sessions.

Evidence-based approaches and how they help online

Two evidence-based therapeutic techniques Beth often draws on are skills-focused work and trauma-informed support. Skills-focused work teaches practical coping tools such as breathing or grounding techniques, thought-challenging exercises, and step-by-step plans to handle anxiety or panic moments. Trauma-informed support pays attention to past distress and how it shows up now, helping people reduce reactivity and feel more in control over time.

These approaches are explained in plain terms during early sessions, and the therapist and client decide together which methods to use. The process is collaborative: goals, comfort level, and daily life shape the plan rather than a one-size-fits-all method. Adjustments are made as progress is tracked and needs change.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm available session formats before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy week and let people try shorter or more frequent check-ins when that helps. It also removes commute time and can make it simpler to schedule sessions on weekdays or weekends, aligning therapy with everyday responsibilities.
