Grief counselors and therapists in Louisville, KY

Hello, and welcome. My name is Bethaney Long, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 20 years of experience in the helping profession and over 7 years of clinical mental health experience. I work with children ages 4 and older, adolescents, adults, and families. While I primarily provide face-to-face therapy services, telehealth appointments are also available when appropriate.

I specialize in helping individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, life transitions, relationship challenges, family conflict, parenting concerns, stress management difficulties, and self-esteem issues. I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families navigating life’s challenges and emotional hardships.

My approach is warm, supportive, and collaborative. I believe therapy should be a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change. I utilize evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), EMDR-informed interventions, and strengths-based techniques tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals.

I understand that reaching out for support can be difficult. My goal is to help clients build on their strengths, develop effective coping skills, increase resilience, and work toward lasting healing and personal growth. Whether you are seeking support for a specific concern or looking to improve your overall well-being, I am committed to meeting you where you are and helping you move toward the life you want to live.

If anxiety, depression, or past experiences are making it difficult to feel like yourself, therapy can help you find relief and move forward. You may feel overwhelmed by your emotions, stuck in painful patterns, or struggling with grief, trauma, or relationships. You deserve to feel heard, understood, and hopeful again. Together, we can work toward healing, building emotional strength, and creating a life that feels more peaceful and fulfilling.

I am a trauma informed therapist, here to help you. I work with teens and adults who are dealing with trauma, PTSD, anxiety, shame, guilt, self-doubt, substance use, and painful relationship patterns. Many of the people I support feel stuck in survival mode. They may be having nightmares, flashbacks, anger outbursts, self-harm, low self-worth, codependent patterns, or the constant feeling that they are doing everything wrong. Some are trying to heal after domestic violence, sexual abuse, addiction, or other painful experiences that changed how safe life feels. My goal is to help you feel supported, understood, and more able to imagine what comes next.

BIO For Lisa Bosley

With over 25 years in the Social Service field, I have had the opportunity to work with numerous populations. I have always held the words of Aristotle, “We are what we repeatedly do, excellence then, is not an act, but a habit,” close to my heart, as I believe that all pursuits are worthy of my best efforts. I am a lifetime student and continue to look for better ways to grow and educate myself to pass along to others.

I hold a master’s degree in social work from the University of Louisville and have dedicated my career to trying to make a difference in the lives of those I have been fortunate to work with.

I received my CSW on March 7th, 2008, then my LCSW on August 3rd, 2026.

I am humbled and honored by those that choose to include me in their journey towards healing their mind, body, and spirit. I am excited for those who make the difficult decision to take this step towards wholeness and look forward to working together.

I bring an open mind and an open heart when working with my clients. I want to help my clients understand that they are not a problem, but the problem is the problem. I respect my clients and work hard to make them feel heard. I work to support my clients in their circumstances and meet them where they are. I have training in EMDR and narrative therapy. I endeavor to provide treatment that is trauma informed. I use CBT skills as well as other interventions.

I've always loved helping people live more fulfilling and joyful lives. As humans, we do not exist in a vacuum, so many things take a toll on our daily lives and through our work together, we can figure out what works and what doesn't. I am an LCSW and have been specializing in OCD and Trauma for over three years.
