About Bethany
Bethany Livingston is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 11 years of experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strains, and life transitions. She also supports people facing issues like eating concerns, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and career pressures.
Bethany uses a client-centered approach that keeps the person's own goals in focus. She relies on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice patterns in thoughts and actions. Mindfulness tools are introduced to help reduce reactivity and manage tension as it comes up.
Sessions are practical and task-oriented. Bethany helps people break down situations that trigger strong reactions. She guides simple skills practice, then reviews what worked and what needs adjusting.
Her background includes a Master of Arts in Forensic Psychology and further graduate coursework in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. That training informs how she assesses mood, attention, and behavior patterns over time.
People who book with her can expect straightforward conversations aimed at clearer thinking and calmer responses. She encourages small, consistent changes rather than quick fixes. The focus is on learning concrete ways to respond differently to stress, resentment, and repeated triggers.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and experiences. The therapist listens without directing the agenda and helps the person identify what matters most and where to start.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and to try different responses to anger or anxiety.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to notice impulses and reduce automatic reactivity. These skills are often useful for people who want to reduce quick flare-ups or persistent tension.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which techniques fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That may mean mixing CBT exercises with mindfulness practice and a client-directed plan.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can use these arrangements to help people practice skills in real-life situations without promising particular outcomes.
