Beth Donath-Tish, LCSW

Beth Donath-Tish is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings 23 years of experience to therapy. She offers a calm, supportive presence and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, and relationship or intimacy concerns. Her work also includes support around eating issues, ADHD, and coping with health challenges and life transitions.

She uses a client-centered style that starts by meeting people where they are. Sessions aim to be practical and respectful, with the therapist and client working together to set goals. Beth prefers beginning with a phone call or an in-person meeting to clarify needs and plan next steps.

Her practice draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to outline patterns and try different behaviors. She also uses mindfulness-based methods to help people notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting overwhelmed. Psychodynamic ideas are part of the work too, helping people see how past experiences shape current feelings and patterns.

Beth has worked in outpatient psychiatry, group-home settings for teens, and school-based support within the New York City public school system. That background informs how she supports teens and adults through assessments, mandated counseling, and school-related meetings when needed.

People who choose her can expect steady, empathic support and collaborative planning. She emphasizes respect and clear communication while tailoring sessions to each person’s concerns and pace.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and testing new approaches. It can help with anxiety, panic, obsessive thoughts, and many everyday symptoms.

Mindfulness-based therapy helps people notice thoughts, body sensations, and emotions with less judgment. It can reduce stress and support coping with chronic pain, depression, and emotional reactivity.

Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past relationships and experiences influence current feelings and patterns. It can help when recurring relationship difficulties, low self-worth, or deep-rooted patterns keep repeating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. This is a team process and can shift as therapy progresses.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as options are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people meet from a range of locations. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques like CBT exercises, mindfulness practice, and psychodynamic reflection to work well in remote sessions when the format fits the client’s needs.
