Bethany McLaughlin, LCSW, AACC

ADDCA-certified ADHD coach and licensed clinical social worker (LCSW, MSW — University of Pittsburgh). With nearly two decades in coaching and clinical mental health roles, I specialize in working with late-diagnosed women, parents, and young adults, particularly college and graduate students — having worked across institutions from large state schools to elite universities like Carnegie Mellon. My approach draws on deep ADHD knowledge, evidence-based coaching methods, and intensive self-compassion training with Dr. Kristin Neff, the world's foremost expert on the practice.

Client Testimonial

"This has been the most positive thing I have done for my ADHD. I found Bethany to be very informative and excellent at helping me navigate my symptoms, better understand my diagnosis, and work through my own struggles with my neurodivergent brain in healthy ways."
- YQ, Pittsburgh


I provide virtual ADHD coaching to adults around the world, and across a wide range of life stages, with a focus on executive function strategies, practical skill-building, and self-discovery. My client base includes a high proportion of marginalized individuals, first-generation Americans, and immigrants — people who have often struggled to find an obvious fit with other coaches. I bring a warm, conversational style to every session and am skilled at building strong rapport, including with clients new to formal ADHD support.
