About Skip
Rev. Skip Beyer is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 19 years of clinical experience. He combines practical counseling with pastoral perspective and aims to help people manage anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, and grief in straightforward ways.
He listens first and asks about what matters to each person. He uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns. He also draws on client-centered and narrative approaches so people can tell their story and find meaning in change.
Background and approach
Skip has worked with many people facing relationship strain, intimacy-related concerns, and issues around self-esteem. He also supports those coping with trauma, compassion fatigue, chronic illness or pain, and life transitions such as divorce or adoption-related questions. He includes faith-informed options, including scripture, when a client wants that reflected in care.
Sessions focus on practical steps such as improving communication, managing strong emotions, building routines for sleep, and reducing cravings or harmful behaviors. He aims to help people identify strengths and small changes that fit their life. Plans are adapted to each person rather than following a fixed script.
Based in Indiana, Skip offers care in English and uses a mix of therapy methods chosen with each person. He encourages steady progress and sees therapy as a collaborative process where clients set goals and work at a pace that feels manageable.
Approach and online care that adapts to your needs
Client-centered therapy focuses on being heard and understood. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflecting concerns and strengths so goals can be set from what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful behavior patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that help regulate stress and improve moment-to-moment awareness.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through options, try methods that fit the individual's goals, and adjust the plan over time based on what helps. Clients are encouraged to share preferences about faith-informed elements or practical tools so sessions match their values and daily life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video suits a fuller face-to-face conversation, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, short text messages or live chat are useful for quick check-ins or homework, and different formats can be combined across the course of care. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities while keeping progress steady.
