About Beth
Beth Collins is a Maine LCSW with 25 years of clinical experience helping adults through difficult life transitions. She works with people facing depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma and compassion fatigue. Her practice is focused on practical support for what feels overwhelming now and what might come next.
Collins uses straightforward conversation and a touch of gentle humor when it fits. She listens for patterns people carry from their family of origin and helps them notice how those patterns show up now. Sessions include time to name painful experiences and to practice new ways of responding to them.
Her work draws on client-centered therapy, which centers the person’s own goals and perspective, and on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions together. She blends these approaches to help people build useful skills and clearer thinking about choices.
Beth supports people dealing with abandonment, codependency, control issues, and problems that follow divorce or domestic violence. She also helps those facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, aging concerns, body image, guilt, and shame. Grief and loss work is a frequent focus.
Sessions tend to be conversational and goal-oriented. Beth encourages small, concrete steps you can use between meetings. If you feel stuck about what comes next in work, relationships, or health, she aims to help you clarify what matters most and how to move toward it.
How Beth integrates approaches in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and perspective. Sessions aim to follow what matters most to the client and to clarify goals. This approach is helpful for people feeling stuck after life changes because it centers the client’s own sense of what matters.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It breaks problems into manageable parts and teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for depression, anxiety, grief reactions, and coping with stress from chronic illness or caregiving.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Beth will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is revisited over time as goals and circumstances change.
