Beth LongI’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), author, and speaker with a passion for helping families thrive.I am Dr. Beth Long and I have been counseling families for more than 20 years. However, when I needed the mental health system, it failed me. My journey into this work is deeply personal. As a foster parent, I witnessed firsthand the challenges children face in the mental health system and became frustrated with how traditional services often fell short. I was determined to make a real difference, so I returned to school to become a behavior analyst, gaining the skills to combine the best of mental health counseling and applied behavior analysis to support children and families in ways that were previously unavailable.I help families identify skill deficits in their children and provide practical strategies to practice and master those skills, turning challenges into opportunities for growth. As a public speaker and author of Beyond Words: The Art of Effectively Communicating with Your Children, I blend science-backed strategies with real-life stories, making complex behavioral concepts relatable and actionable.Podcast hosts love having me on because I bring personal experience, professional expertise, and tangible strategies that audiences can apply immediately. Invite me onto your show to inspire, inform, and equip your listeners with tools that truly transform families.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
