Beth Donath-Tish

Beth Donath-Tish is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York. She offers a supportive, client-centered style and focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship concerns, grief, and eating and food-related issues. Beth draws on three decades of experience to create a calm space for people to talk and plan next steps.

Beth earned her Master’s degree from Fordham University in 1990 and has practiced for 23 years. Her background includes work in outpatient psychiatry clinics, private practice, agency group homes, and school-based support teams for the New York City Department of Education. She has provided counseling and conducted assessments related to special education and school-based mandates.

In sessions she aims to meet people where they are. She describes her approach as empathetic and respectful, using client-centered conversations to identify goals. She prefers a team-style process where client and clinician build a plan together.

Therapeutic methods she commonly uses include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy. These approaches are adapted to each person’s needs and concerns, from panic and OCD symptoms to body image and workplace stress.

For first contact Beth recommends at least a phone call or live meeting to begin. Prospective clients choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How Beth's approaches translate to online care

Beth often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice thinking patterns and try new behaviors. CBT focuses on clear, practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and habits, which can help with anxiety, panic, OCD symptoms, and disordered eating patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to lower stress and improve awareness of emotions and body signals.

She also draws on Psychodynamic Therapy to look at longer-standing feelings and relationship patterns that affect current life. That approach helps when someone wants to understand repetitive reactions or unresolved grief. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative; the therapist and client work together to match methods to the client's goals and preferences.

If you are considering online work, confirm the session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. Licensed professionals can use a mix of methods, and Beth will adapt techniques to what works best for each person.
