Getting to know Bethanie Railling

Have you ever just wanted to sit down and cry? Sometimes even thinking about the hard stuff can feel overwhelming. If you’re here, take a moment to acknowledge that this is already a meaningful first step. I’m Bethanie (she/her), a Licensed Social Worker serving the greater NYC area. I work with young adults through aging adults who are navigating the complexities of grief, anxiety, depression, life transitions, dating, and other life challenges. My approach is gentle, trauma-informed, and strength-based. I focus on meeting you where you are and creating a safe, supportive space where you can explore your experiences at your own pace. Together, we’ll work to build practical tools and techniques that you can use outside of therapy to support your goals and growth. I believe you are the author of your own story. My role is to help guide and support you through your journey toward healing and clarity. I am in-network with most Aetna, Cigna, Evernorth, BCBS, and Optum plans. Please note that I am not currently in-network with Medicaid or Medicare plans.

What should a new client know about working with you?

New clients should know that our work together will be grounded in compassion, collaboration, and respect for your lived experience. My style is gentle and supportive, rooted in a trauma-informed and strength-based approach. That means we focus not only on the challenges you’re facing, but also on the resilience and strengths you already carry. I meet you where you are. Whether you’re navigating grief, anxiety, depression, life changes, dating, or simply feeling stuck, we’ll move at a pace that feels safe and manageable. You won’t be pressured to share more than you’re ready to. My goal is to help you feel heard and supported while also equipping you with tools and techniques you can use outside of our sessions to continue progressing toward your goals.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Our work begins with understanding where you are right now: what feels confusing, and what you hope might change. I take time to get to know you as a whole person, not just the challenges that brought you in. Sessions are collaborative and centered around your needs. Using a trauma-informed, strength-based approach, we explore your experiences in a way that feels safe and grounded. As we identify patterns, stressors, and goals, we also develop practical tools and coping strategies that you can apply outside of therapy. Over time, the process focuses on building insight, strengthening your existing resilience, and helping you feel more confident navigating life’s complexities.
