About Beth
Beth Donath-Tish is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 23 years of experience. She works with adults and teenagers on concerns such as anxiety, stress, relationships, and social anxiety and phobia. She also addresses grief, self-esteem, ADHD, eating and body image issues, and workplace strain.
She trained at Fordham University and has worked in outpatient psychiatry, residential group-home settings, and within New York City public schools. That school work included assessments related to special education, at-risk counseling, mandated counseling, and 504-related meetings connected to suspensions and Individualized Education Plans. These roles shaped her experience with both short-term and ongoing concerns.
Her approach centers on client-centered counseling. She describes her style as supportive and meeting people where they feel most comfortable. Sessions include practical problem-solving alongside reflection about past patterns and current stressors.
She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, Mindfulness Therapy to build present-moment awareness, and Psychodynamic Therapy to look at underlying patterns rooted in earlier relationships. Treatment planning is collaborative and often focuses on concrete goals like reducing panic symptoms, managing workplace stress, or improving relationship communication.
For first contact she prefers either a phone call or a live meeting to start. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking a first appointment.
How Beth’s approaches translate to online work
Many clients find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helpful for clear, practical steps to change thinking and behavior. CBT often targets panic attacks, social anxiety and phobia, and unhelpful avoidance with exercises and practice. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and relationships from earlier life to understand current difficulties and improve long-term coping.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, symptoms, and personal preferences and suggest methods that fit the situation. Some people start with CBT for immediate symptom relief and add mindfulness or psychodynamic work to build insight over time.
Confirm current session options before booking, since the biography highlights an initial phone call or live meeting for first contact. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals commonly adapt exercises, homework, and mindfulness practices to work in digital sessions so therapy can fit into everyday life.
