About Bethany
Bethany Livingston welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or big life changes. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with eleven years of experience. Bethany writes in plain terms and focuses on small, practical steps that can make daily life easier.
Her work centers on helping people understand what gets in the way of feeling better. She uses a client-centered approach that respects each person’s pace and priorities.
How Bethany works
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is one tool she uses to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Mindfulness techniques are added to help with staying present and reducing worry. Bethany has supported people facing a wide range of concerns.
These include eating issues, body image problems, attention difficulties, mood shifts such as bipolar symptoms, and obsessive or compulsive behaviors. She also addresses relationship strain, communication problems, codependency, anger, career stress, and grief around life transitions. In session she focuses on clear goals and practical skills.
Clients work on manageable homework between meetings and learn ways to notice patterns that keep problems going. Bethany describes therapy as a collaborative effort where the client’s goals guide each step. She practices in Florida and offers sessions in English.
Bethany helps people who want straightforward, down-to-earth support for emotional and behavioral challenges.

Approaches and online options that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It involves listening closely, reflecting what matters, and shaping sessions around each person’s goals. This approach helps when someone needs respect for their pace and clear support for practical problems.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and habits affect feelings and behavior. It teaches concrete tools to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new routines, which is useful for anxiety, depression, eating issues, and obsessive behaviors. Mindfulness Therapy adds simple practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm by helping people notice the present moment without judgment.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust plans based on how a person responds. That collaborative process helps find what feels useful and sustainable.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coping tools between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to get consistent support while fitting therapy into a busy life.
