Approach to Therapy
My own life, carefully handcrafted and curated, translates into support for my clients by example. Combined with education and conversation, our work together lifts their lives to hold ongoing swagger, sophistication, and just plain coolness.

I support each of my clients with high-end life coaching (available globally outside of CT or TX) or deep therapy sessions (for CT and TX residents) through 1:1 telehealth or telephone meetings multiple times a week. I also offer online life-lifting courses, as well as my first self-help book: Stop Talking About Your Childhood. Additionally, I host the Vervewell Counseling podcast (available on YouTube and our website) and share almost-daily reels via Instagram and Facebook on various mental health topics (@bethclardlylewis).

Because of my lived experiences, street smarts, and my multiple degrees and licensures in psychology and family systems—combined with a heart full of compassion—I offer a comprehensive resume to connect my clients to a lifted life rich in wellness.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) 
I treat Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a sophisticated strategy tool within counseling, helping you master the direct connection between your mindset and your daily actions. As an evidence-based framework, CBT therapy effectively addresses a wide range of life hurdles, proving especially beneficial for anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and relationship difficulties. I value this practical approach because it leaves you with immediate, actionable tools to dismantle unhelpful thinking and build healthier coping strategies outside of our sessions.

About Beth
I work within my own world to experience the good life day after day—whether that’s a great workout, a power nap, a delicious pistachio milk latte (yummmm), dinner with friends, a charming cocktail hour, or finally finding the most beautiful pair of shoes, a walking route in beautiful Mystic, or a farmers’ market. This is a lifted life rich with ease, achievement, and meaningful connection, free from the slow motion of anxiety, depression, or compulsivity.

With my own therapeutic methods in place, I left my life as a full-time therapist in my private practice, Vervewell, and drove across the country. After almost two years of nomadically exploring the Northeast, I have selected, with much consideration and intention, the charming seaside town of Mystic, CT. I have found a beautiful New England home where I am nesting and reveling in my love for interior design and curating beautiful spaces. Here, I am continually growing my business and myself, not to mention living close to my daughter as she grows her own life. Today, I work as an author, exclusive life coach, and virtual therapist, while continuing to serve as the CEO of Vervewell Counseling.

I thoroughly enjoy all the virtual calls and texts with the soulful, heart-rich team providing high-end therapy in Fort Worth, Texas. My practice continues running with gorgeous might. They are Vervewell, and I couldn’t be more proud of having that team of exceptional Texas therapists keeping the home fires burning down there in the Lone Star State.

What a fun thing, experiencing a life lift. Let’s make this happen for you. If this resonates with you at all, contact me today to get started.

Anxiety and Panic Management (all therapists)

Vervewell therapists work with clients who may be experiencing regular bouts of anxiety. Sometimes anxiety shows up as panic. Learning simpler ideas like deep breathing and visualization are often utilized, as well as more complex modalities like reactive vs responsive, thought driven action, and curated headspace day after day. 

Anxiety represents the psyche’s alarm system responding to perceived threats, both real and Imagined. Rather than simply suppressing symptoms, we’ll explore anxiety as a meaningful communication from parts of yourself demanding attention. You’ll develop sophisticated strategies for self-regulation while investigating the underlying conflicts your anxiety may be expressing. This involves learning to differentiate between realistic concerns requiring action and neurotic anxiety serving defensive purposes. By developing a more nuanced relationship with your anxiety, you transform it from tyrant to teacher, using its energy for growth rather than paralysis.
