About Betty
Betty Lustig is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 18 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, anger, and sleep problems. She also supports people facing career stress, caregiving burdens, ADHD, and changes related to aging and illness.
She uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as her main approaches. In sessions she listens first, then helps a person identify specific patterns that keep problems going. Conversations aim to be straightforward and practical so people can try new ways of reacting between appointments.
Betty emphasizes the relationship between client and therapist. That relationship is described as one of acceptance and trust where people can speak honestly about what is happening. From there she and the client set goals and try methods that suit the person's situation and preferences.
Her background includes a Master of Education in Community Counseling from the University of Miami, Florida. As an LMHC she draws on nearly two decades of work with grief, PTSD, relationship concerns, and mood disorders. Her style blends listening with concrete tools so people can manage anger, reduce anxiety, and improve sleep.

How Client-Centered and CBT approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist reflects what the person says and helps them feel understood, which can make it easier to talk about anger, grief, or relationship stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful thinking and reduce anger, anxiety, and sleep troubles.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Betty will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then decide together which methods to try. That collaborative decision helps match tools to a person's life and needs.
