About Betina
Betina Bolin is a licensed clinical social worker with 16 years of professional experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, relationship or intimacy concerns, and life changes. She also supports those coping with trauma, bipolar disorder, ADHD, eating issues, anger, career challenges, and compassion fatigue.
Her style centers on a respectful, client-centered approach. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change. She asks questions, listens closely, and helps people notice the patterns that get in the way of daily life.
Background and approach
Betina believes everyone has worth and the capacity to direct their own life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing are often part of her work. Those methods are used to identify unhelpful thoughts, build practical coping skills, and set realistic goals.
She also uses EMDR when trauma memories are a central concern. Betina draws from many approaches so sessions can be adjusted to fit a person's needs. She favors short-term, goal-oriented steps when that fits, and deeper exploration when more is needed.
Expect a mix of skill practice, gentle challenge, and supportive reflection. She holds LCSW credentials and practices in Missouri. Sessions are offered in English and available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
International clients may be accepted.

Online support
How therapeutic methods translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and the client's own goals. Online sessions let a therapist reflect back concerns, clarify priorities, and follow the pace each person prefers to set.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and practicing new responses. In remote sessions, this often looks like short exercises, homework between meetings, and concrete skill-building that can be practiced in daily life.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used when past traumatic memories interfere with current functioning. Online EMDR can include guided attention techniques and stepwise processing while the therapist coaches each stage of the work.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and comfort level, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations, phone calls can fit into a busy schedule or when bandwidth is limited, chat is useful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep appointments and use therapy in real life.
