Bethany Tschappat, LPC

Bethany Tschappat is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina who combines clinical training with a compassionate, faith-informed perspective to help people move forward. As owner and clinical counselor of Better Mind - Better You, LLC, she supports individuals in identifying barriers to well-being and developing practical strategies for managing depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, career issues, and compassion fatigue. In addition to her LPC credential, she is a Licensed Professional Counselor/Supervisor (LPC/S) candidate and holds national and specialty certifications that reflect additional training in trauma and anxiety treatment - for example, National Certified Counselor (NCC) indicates national credentialing, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) denotes focused trauma training, and Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP) signals specialized anxiety care.

Her work draws on a range of evidence-informed approaches, and she partners with adults, veterans, first responders, nurses, teachers, and others experiencing workplace stress or relational difficulties. Bethany emphasizes self-compassion, improved communication, and practical coping skills so clients can heal from past experiences, strengthen their sense of self-worth, and pursue meaningful life changes. She frames therapy as a collaborative journey - guiding clients to explore emotions, develop resilience, and build sustainable strategies for growth while honoring each person’s unique path.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and learn to take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions because it emphasizes values-based living rather than symptom elimination.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thought patterns and related behaviors. It is practical and goal-oriented, often used for anxiety, depression, sleep concerns, and coping with life changes.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that helps process distressing memories and their emotional impact. It can be beneficial for people recovering from past abuse, traumatic events, or persistent trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Bethany works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She integrates techniques as appropriate and adjusts the plan over time based on progress and client feedback.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to engage from locations that fit their schedules and responsibilities. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy or transitional periods and support consistent work toward therapeutic goals with licensed professionals and therapists.
