About Bethany
Bethany Davey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who practices in Idaho. She uses a narrative-focused lens to help people make sense of painful events and shifting life roles. Her style is straightforward and warm, with a focus on helping people tell their story and find practical next steps.
Bethany helps people dealing with trauma, depression, anxiety, and major life changes. She also supports those wrestling with family issues, relationship concerns, parenting stress, and identity questions.
Background and approach
People come for help with grief, eating struggles, compassion fatigue, and work-related strain. In sessions she listens for the stories that have shaped how a person sees themselves. She works with clients to separate harmful messages from strengths they can build on.
This can make space for new choices and healthier patterns in relationships and daily life. Bethany draws on Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas to focus on connection, trust, and the client’s own goals. She also uses psychodynamic and existential perspectives when it helps to understand early influences or life meaning.
Narrative Therapy is a primary frame she brings into conversation with these approaches. With five years of clinical experience, Bethany combines practical problem solving with attention to emotions and history. Sessions may include talking through difficult memories, practicing new ways of communicating, or making a plan for next steps.
She aims to help people feel clearer, less overwhelmed, and more able to move forward.

Online session options
Narrative and Attachment work offered online
Bethany uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. This approach helps when past events keep shaping current choices, such as patterns in relationships, family roles, or reactions to trauma.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds influence trust and connection now. That focus can help with anxiety, relationship conflicts, parenting stress, and healing from abandonment or attachment wounds. Client-Centered Therapy is part of her practice too, which centers the person’s own goals and pace rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Bethany will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to emphasize story work, attachment patterns, or a client-led pace, and adjust as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people work face-to-face from wherever they are. Phone sessions suit those who prefer not to be on camera or need a quicker check-in. Live chat and text messaging provide short, ongoing support between sessions. These options help fit therapy into work, parenting, or caregiving routines while keeping focus on practical change and emotional understanding.
