Bethann Whitford, LCSW

Psychotherapist
IL
Choosing a therapist can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re already carrying so much. Many of the teens and adults I work with come to therapy feeling anxious, emotionally exhausted, disconnected from themselves, or unsure how to move forward. You may be navigating school or work stress, identity exploration, relationship challenges, chronic illness, trauma, substance use concerns, or a major life transition. My role is to provide a grounded, supportive space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and empowered. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who works with youth and adults. I am especially passionate about supporting individuals navigating LGBTQIA+ concerns, gender identity exploration, self-esteem challenges, and the impacts of trauma, anxiety, and depression. I also have experience working with students in school settings, including those facing bullying or IEP/504-related concerns, as well as individuals living with chronic illness or disability, both pre- and post-diagnosis. My approach is strengths-based, collaborative, and compassionate. I integrate evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI) to support meaningful growth. Together, we will build emotional regulation skills, healthier coping strategies, and practical tools that create lasting change in your daily life. In our work, we will move at your pace - focusing not only on reducing distress, but also on building resilience, confidence, and a stronger connection to your values and identity. Reaching out for therapy takes courage, and I would be honored to walk alongside you in that process.
