LCSW, 5 years of experience
Welcome! I am Beth Gaudette, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Raleigh, here to help support you during life's daily and complex challenges. I graduated from North Carolina State University with an MSW. My therapy experience focuses on many concerns, including anxiety, depression, family conflict, and parenting, working with a wide range of clients but specializing in working with adolescents through adulthood. I am a warm, positive, and dependable clinician.
Our first session will be a safe space to share your experiences. We will work together to create a treatment plan focusing on the goals you want to accomplish. My primary goal is to empower clients to make the changes they want and build up their coping skills to face life's changes and challenges.
My greatest strength as a provider is my positive strength focused approach that aims to build clients up. My goal is to support you on reaching your goals and walk with you in the process of meeting your desired outcomes.
Everyone experiences roadblocks that can feel overwhelming; a therapist's support can accompany and guide you through those difficulties. Shame and guilt are too prominent in our world, and offering a space without judgment is essential for clients to reach their goals. My approach to therapy is client-centered and individualized for a specific client. I specialize in using cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance, commitment therapy, and strategic and structural family therapy.
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) combines mindfulness with behavior-change strategies, to help increase psychological flexibility. In my practice, I used ACT to help clients embrace their emotions, increase their distress tolerance, and make positive changes by removing limiting barriers.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a talk therapy technique that helps increase awareness of cognitions to be able to recognize and reframe negative thinking patterns. In my practice I used CBT to increase client's awareness of their thoughts to replace negative or unhelpful thoughts with neutral or positive replacements.
Family therapy, specifically Family systems therapy views the family as a single emotional unit and believes the actions of all family members impact one another. In my practice we use Family System Therapy to look at sequences of patterns within a family to identify ways to interact differently; we also focus often on de-escalation and boundary setting skills.

Beth does a really great job of helping me come to conclusions and paths forward. She is warm, has a good sense of humor and working with her has been immensely helpful in clarifying what I need and want out of my life, how I can get there and how to overcome some of my mental health barriers and stressors.
