Brite Counseling is a mental health therapy provider for adults located in Lincoln’s historic Haymarket district. Expect solution-focused and evidence-based strategies for improving your well-being. Our clients are change-makers, social innovators, justice-seekers, and leaders (now or in the making). They see possibilities everywhere. We try to help them define their goals and achieve them with as much joy and as little stress as possible. More joy. Less suffering. Carrying the weight of your world a bit more lightly. That’s the goal.
Formality isn't a thing at Brite. We work hard to have such great rapport with clients that they are already talking before they even sit down. We want to work with you--not a perfect, controlled (contrived) version of you. Coming to therapy should be an opportunity to be your most authentic self. We promise to be the same. That's where the good stuff is. And that's where the progress comes from.
Brite Counseling supports all race, sex, and gender identities, family structures, and reproductive choices. Always. A significant portion of Brite's clients are members of marginalized communities. Many clients are social justice warriors. We are proud and humbled to work with diverse community members.
Beth Burkstrand-Reid, JD, MSW, LICSW. Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. Parent. Spouse. Women’s hockey fan. Lawyer and former sex discrimination and family law professor. Lover of fun eyeglasses. I laugh way too loud. I listen to bad (awesome!) pop music and love documentaries. I am a direct, compassionate communicator. I am terrified of sharks. Even therapists have things to work on.
I have specialized training in treating anxiety, which is my primary clinical focus. I also treat severe and persistent mental illness, mood disorders, trauma, and issues related to discrimination. I use numerous evidence-based therapy techniques, including Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy.

Please contact Beth directly to inquire about consultation.
