Getting to know Valerie Bethke

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience helping children, adolescents, adults, and families navigate life's challenges and improve their emotional well-being. I believe therapy should be a collaborative and supportive process where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, executive functioning challenges, social skills difficulties, school-related stress, behavioral concerns, and family relationship issues. I also have extensive experience helping clients develop coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and build confidence in managing everyday stressors. My approach is personalized and evidence-based, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, mindfulness techniques, behavioral interventions, and family-centered approaches. When working with children and adolescents, I often incorporate creative and engaging strategies to help clients feel comfortable and successful in therapy. Throughout my career, I have worked in private practice, pediatric behavioral health, telehealth, family therapy, crisis intervention, and community mental health settings. I partner closely with families, schools, and healthcare providers to ensure coordinated care and the best possible outcomes for my clients. Whether you are seeking support for yourself, your child, or your family, I am committed to helping you build resilience, develop practical coping strategies, and create lasting positive change.
