Beth Donath-Tish is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York. She offers a calm, client-centered approach and meets people where they are. Her style is supportive and straightforward, focused on practical steps people can use between sessions.

She has 23 years of experience working in a range of settings. That includes outpatient psychiatry in New York City, private practice, agency group homes for teenagers, and school-based support for the NYC Department of Education. In the schools she conducted assessments related to special education and provided at-risk and mandated counseling for students with individualized education plans.

Beth uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness-based methods, and psychodynamic approaches in her work. She blends these to address everyday thoughts and habits, stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns. She also helps with grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and challenges tied to eating and body image.

Her additional focus areas include ADHD, compassion fatigue, chronic illness and pain, obsessive-compulsive issues, panic, social anxiety, and workplace stress. She aims to create a plan together with each person, so therapy fits their needs and daily life.

Beth prefers an initial contact by phone or in person before ongoing sessions. She emphasizes respect and collaboration while helping people develop coping strategies and clearer thinking patterns.

Approaches that shape online work and goals

Beth draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy as core tools. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and helps people try new ways of thinking and acting to ease anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful habits. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and increase calm in daily life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about symptoms, goals, and preferences and then suggest a mix of techniques to try. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan as needed.

Confirm the specific online session options before booking because the biography does not list formats. In general, online therapy can make scheduling easier and reduce travel time so sessions fit into work and family life. It can also allow shorter check-ins when days are busy and let people use breathing or mindfulness exercises between appointments. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and mindfulness exercises to work well in remote sessions while focusing on practical steps for everyday habits.
