Online therapy--licensed psychotherapist works evenings
Beth Mares RP works with relationships, family problems, sexuality, depression, anxiety disorders, OCD, stress, and problems at work.
She teaches human relations skills such as assertiveness, anger management and sensitivity.
She is trained in short term and long term therapies and in addictions. She works afternoons and evenings Monday through Friday.
The issues Beth works with most:
Anxiety and tools to control it
Anxiety disorders include fears and phobias, social anxiety, general anxiety disorder, panic attacks, and constant worrying about health. Treatment can involve skill-building so that the client is prepared to succeed in the feared situation; gradual desensitization at the pace that is right for the client; finding and removing false beliefs that underpin the anxiety; relaxation training; dealing with past trauma; and improving or ending relationships that reinforce lack of confidence or feeling out of control.
