I have been counseling in private practice in Nebraska since receiving my Professional Counseling degree from Grand Canyon University in early 2015. A few years ago, we moved to South Dakota where I am also licensed and working as a full time therapist.
I am a spiritually mature Christian and I have been able to assist hundreds of clients of all beliefs and walks of faith in my counseling career. I simply meet my clients where they are and together we focus on where they want to be. Where it is you'd like to be?
My clients love their work with me and I know this because they refer me to their family and friends! I am a positive, solution-oriented, compassionate counselor with a short-term, no-excuses, future-focused, empowering approach. Clients often feel immediate relief and find hope in dire circumstances after just one session, and then we just get together to reinforce the principles, learn new skills and practice their application. I focus on helping you regain control of their own emotional state so you can weather any present or future storm, even if that storm seems to come from the past.
I'm in my fifties now and have been married nearly 40 years (some of them happy). I have two grown sons, and three grandchildren.
I believe my deep faith and midwest roots help me to connect in a more compassionate way with my clients. I am skilled at finding the best parts of clients and letting them shine. I love lifting lids, unlocking new perspectives, and releasing hope. I like to teach principles and skills clients can use both in their current situations and over the course of their lifetime. I want nothing more than to equip my clients for everyday life and future challenges -- I want the benefits of therapy to extend way beyond our counseling relationship.
If you are ready to figure out what is tripping you up, holding you back, and keeping you from the love, joy, and peace you desire, let's talk today.
Maybe you've hit rock bottom. Maybe you're just trying to avoid hitting it.
Let's talk about what you want to be different.
I can help -- let's talk today.
There's always a way; let's find it!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Beth Trennepohl. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Beth comes across as actively enjoying helping people and for me that separates her from most other counsellors who it seems run by the clock, who you only see once a week for a specified amount of time. I write a lot and Beth seems to read it all. I felt a bit guilty about the extra work that I might be giving her but she seems to genuinely enjoy what she does. That's why I keep returning to see her. That together with her practical results focussed approach and her genuine willingness to meet you where you are rather than force you to be something you're not.

Beth is one of the best therapists I’ve ever had. She truly listens and consistently offers helpful tools and techniques to regulate my emotions and manage my thoughts. She also checks in between sessions, and I love that—it really shows she cares. I’m a completely different person than I was when I first met her last year. She is exceptional at what she does, and the lessons she’s taught me will stay with me for life.

Beth is an amazing counsellor.
She has been the best therapist I’ve had so far, she always has the right things to say to make me feel better and lead me along the joirney of discovering the right path forward. Highly recommend her as a therapist, she has been the most kind and helpful to me.
Besides, I live in Australia and the time difference is half a day but her schedule was so flexible it made it available for me to talk to her even when it was early morning or late evening her time. Really appreciate that.

I really like how Beth helps me navigate a direction in a pool of mess. When I felt overwhelmed with many things, Beth helped narrow things down, identified the root causes and changed my mentalities. Beth understands how I work as a person, helps me to embrace it and as well as direct it to achieve my goals. I felt better immediately after talking to Beth.

I’m not a very confident person and I didn’t like the idea of face to face counseling. I decided to try BetterHelp and I am beyond delighted with the outcome. My counselor Beth is amazing! She keeps in touch with me between sessions which is fantastic, and I feel supported even though she is so far away. I’m so glad I found Beth and BetterHelp.

I just finished a session with Beth and I’ve never felt better. The first two sessions I questioned if this process and counselor was right for me. I’m glad I hung in there! Beth put clarity to my thoughts and words. I feel a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I recommend to not judge the first couple sessions as I did.Hang in there.

Beth has been so helpful.
She is always on time for our appointments and I feel like she really takes time to listen to my problems and not only tell me what I want to hear but what I need to hear. She's helped me through a few different dilemmas I've experienced and without her advice and guidance I think id be in a very different place mentally.
