About Beth

Beth Donath-Tish is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a practice grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy alongside mindfulness and psychodynamic perspectives.

Background and approach

With 23 years of clinical experience, she blends practical skills-focused work with an empathic, client-centered stance to help people facing anxiety, depression, grief, stress, relationship and intimacy concerns, and challenges such as ADHD and self-esteem difficulties.

Her background includes outpatient psychotherapy in New York City, counseling for teenagers in group home settings, and recent work with a School Based Support Team conducting assessments and at-risk or mandated counseling for students. Beth emphasizes collaboration in care, partnering with each person to develop an individualized plan that reflects their needs and comfort level.

She aims to be supportive and respectful while offering tools for coping with life changes, compulsive behaviors, eating-related issues, and workplace or family stressors. Beth provides services in English from her New York practice and uses a mix of therapeutic techniques to match each client’s goals.

She prefers an initial phone call or in-person meeting to begin the therapeutic relationship and values a team approach that keeps the client’s priorities central.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that adapt to your life

CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, providing practical strategies to manage symptoms like anxiety, panic, or depressive thoughts. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance, which can help reduce stress and improve emotional regulation. Psychodynamic Therapy explores recurring relationship patterns and internal conflicts to increase self-understanding and inform lasting change.

Beth collaborates with clients to determine which approach or combination of approaches best fits their concerns, goals, and preferences. Finding the right method is treated as a partnership, with adjustments made over time based on what is most helpful for the individual.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule or access care from different locations within New York. These formats provide flexibility for follow-up check-ins, focused skills work, or ongoing psychotherapy while supporting continuity of care and consistent progress toward treatment goals.
