About Betina Bolin

Betina Bolin, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker with over 16 years of professional therapy experience. She approaches counseling from a client-centered perspective, emphasizing genuine empathy and a sincere effort to understand each person’s viewpoint and lived experience. Her work is grounded in the belief that every individual has inherent worth and dignity, along with the capacity to build self-direction and strengthen self-efficacy over time.

Betina draws from multiple therapeutic methods, tailoring sessions to the unique needs of each client rather than relying on a single, one-size-fits-all approach. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a significant framework in her work, helping clients identify unhelpful or irrational thought patterns and practice more balanced, self-esteem-supporting alternatives. This process also highlights the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so clients can better understand what drives their reactions and choices.

She views therapy as a space centered on the client’s goals, where the therapist serves as a supportive conduit for change. Through collaborative, goal-oriented work, Betina helps clients strengthen their internal sense of control, reorganize areas of life that feel stuck, and become more intentional and conscientious in day-to-day decision-making.

Thoughtful Approaches, Flexible Online Support

Betina Bolin, LCSW, brings a client-centered style to online therapy, focusing on understanding the client’s perspective and building on personal strengths and values. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, respectful relationship where clients can clarify what matters most, strengthen self-direction, and set goals that feel authentic and achievable.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another key approach in her work. CBT looks at how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence one another, and it helps clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice more balanced alternatives. This can be especially useful when someone feels stuck in cycles of stress, anxiety, low mood, or self-criticism.

Motivational Interviewing may also support the change process by helping clients explore ambivalence, connect choices to personal values, and build momentum toward goals at a pace that feels realistic.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy itself. Betina collaborates with clients to identify what they want to work on and to choose strategies that fit their needs, goals, and preferences as therapy evolves.

Online therapy can make that work more accessible and flexible. Clients can meet by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to stay consistent with support even when schedules, energy levels, or location make in-person sessions difficult.
