About Bethye
Dr. Bethye Valenzuela helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. She has 25 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor and practices in Virginia.
Her style is straightforward and supportive for people ready to make changes. She draws on long clinical experience to help people manage strong emotions and overwhelming reactions. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps that can be used between meetings.
Background and approach
Conversations are direct but respectful, aiming to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. Bethye creates a space where clients can talk through painful memories and current triggers without judgment. She pays attention to how stress and past events affect thinking and behavior.
Together with each client she looks for patterns to change and healthier ways to cope. Her background includes work with people connected to the military community, alongside a broad civilian practice. That experience informs her understanding of trauma, stress, and addiction.
She balances empathy with clear strategies so clients can build new habits and skills. People who choose her often want concrete tools for anger management, better ways to handle workplace stress, or help moving past guilt and shame. She supports clients in setting realistic steps and tracking progress over time.

Everything Bethye lists, in the therapist's own terms. Anger is the reason this directory exists; the rest tells you what usually sits alongside it in Bethye's practice.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Many clients benefit from evidence-based techniques that teach new ways to respond to strong emotions. Cognitive approaches help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts that fuel anxiety, anger, and depression, and replace them with more balanced thinking. Skills-based therapy focuses on practical tools for managing intense feelings and cravings related to addictions or stress, such as breathing, grounding, and step-by-step behavior changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review your goals, symptoms, and preferences and suggest methods that match your needs. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made as progress is tracked and goals evolve.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care fit into busy lives. Video is useful when visual cues matter, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for brief check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to keep consistent appointments and apply new skills in daily routines.
