About Beth O’Dell, LCPC, LCMHC, MLADC, PMH-C, CCTP-I
Hi, I’m Beth. I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maine and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and Master Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (MLADC) in New Hampshire. I’m certified in Perinatal Mental Health and as a Clinical Trauma Professional, with advanced training in EMDR.
Along the way, I’ve come to value an approach that blends evidence-based therapy with holistic practices like yoga and Reiki. The goal is simple: support the whole person, not just the symptoms.
How I work
First and foremost, therapy with me is warm, collaborative, and client-centered. At the same time, I value compassionate honesty. I show up as a real human, because authenticity matters in this space. As a result, sessions are designed to feel safe, inclusive, and grounded.
From there, healing becomes possible. The therapeutic relationship itself can be powerful. It often mirrors secure attachment and reminds you that you don’t have to carry hard things alone. In this space, we can explore patterns that no longer serve you. We can also challenge unhelpful beliefs. Over time, this work supports greater clarity, stronger boundaries, and a deeper sense of resilience.
A bit about me personally
Outside of therapy, I’m a corgi-mom to Gertrude—aka Gerty Mae-hem—who will very likely make herself known during some of our sessions together. Originally from the great state of Rhode Island, I have chosen Maine and New Hampshire as home. I value integrity and balance, both in my work and in my life, and I believe therapy works best when it’s real, human, and collaborative.
When I’m not in front of my computer, I spend a lot of time with my family, enjoy traveling, and can often be found cozied up with a good book, out in the garden learning as I go, or watching the birds visit my Bird Buddy feeder. Like most humans, I’m imperfect—sometimes swearing, often wondering what I’m doing and where all the adults with the answers are—and I believe that showing up as a real person matters in the therapy space.
