Beth is an excellent therapist. She is very flexible with scheduling sessions and is willing to work around your schedule. She is very warm and easy to talk to, which makes it easier to open up and be vulnerable. She has completely changed my life and brought me out of the darkest place and guided me to uncover who I truly was underneath the depression and anxiety. I am internally grateful to have Beth as my therapist, and would recommend her to anyone who’s looking for a therapist who: shows they care and support you, takes a gentle approach to addressing concerns, is flexible with sessions, and gets the job done. Thank you, Beth! I don’t think I could thank you enough.

I have been working with Beth for the last 6 months or so, and in that time she has helped teach me the tools I needed to work through my anxiety and stress. She was instrumental in helping me cope with some difficult situations I was going through in real time. She is knowledgeable and sympathetic. I also really appreciate how she puts complicated concepts into layman's terms that make sense to anyone. In the 6 months that I've been working with her, I went from having panic attacks at least weekly, to going through a very hard time personally, and now we're talking about concluding our sessions as I've been able to build myself a good group of support to handle things organically. Highly recommend, with her help I barely recognize myself from before I started therapy sessions.

Hello! My name is Beth Allen and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Nationally Certified Counselor, and Fully Trained EMDR Therapist (seeking EMDR Certification) in Pennsylvania.

Congratulations on taking the first step towards making a change in your life! It takes courage to seek to make changes toward a more fulfilling, happier life and it is my honor and privilege to accompany you on your journey toward hope, healing and empowerment. I believe in treating everyone with respect, compassion, sensitivity, and individuality, so we will work together to create a plan to address your unique concerns and priorities.

Counseling is my passion, and my approach combines cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing), motivational interviewing, dialectic behavioral therapy, mindfulness, inner child work, person centered, psychoeducation, mind/body connection, and others. With over 19 years of experience in therapy and counseling, and 12 additional years in human service, my work settings include community mental health centers, substance abuse treatment, private practice, crisis hotline, group private practice, physician's office, telehealth, schools, and residential facilities. My experience covers a wide area of concerns such as depression, anxiety, life transitions, grief/loss, guilt & shame, self esteem, stress, trauma, and emotional abuse.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Beth has given me the tools to help cope with and prevent my anxiety. She has helped me work through various struggles in my life over the course of our sessions. Beth is understanding, compassionate, and listens without judgement. I have been able to see new perspectives, achieve a better understanding of my anxieties, and work through my struggles better since starting our sessions. I would recommend Beth to anyone who is in need of help and guidance from their anxiety - whether it is fear, grief, regret, trauma, etc. She is willing to listen and is here to help.

Working with Beth is great! I went through a few different therapists, until I found a match. On our first session, I immediately felt comfortable and listened to. I really value Beth's adaptability. She is able to adapt our sessions to what works the best for me - sometimes I need help with present issues, sometimes we dive deeper into my past.
