About Bethany

Bethany Livingston is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She focuses on helping people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, eating concerns, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and relationship or career strain. Her work is direct and practical, aimed at small steps that fit into busy lives.

She draws on client-centered care to make sessions about each person's priorities. That means conversations begin with what matters most to the client and move at their pace. Bethany also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept up by them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, appears in her approach when clients want concrete tools to change patterns of thinking and behavior. She pairs those tools with mindful awareness and collaborative planning so changes stick outside the therapy hour. Sessions often focus on skills practice, short experiments, and clearer problem solving.

Bethany has eleven years of clinical experience working with a wide range of concerns including body image, codependency, obsessive-compulsive patterns, process addictions, and issues around sexuality and gender dysphoria. Her style is encouraging and solution-oriented while still making room for difficult emotions.

To begin she invites people to identify one small, manageable goal. From there she helps build steps that feel doable and realistic. The emphasis is on steady progress and learning skills that help in day-to-day life.

How her approaches translate to online work

Bethany uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting carried away by them; this can ease anxiety and help with mood and eating concerns. Client-Centered Therapy shapes the session around what the client says matters most, with the therapist following the client's pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, offers practical strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, depression, OCD patterns, and coping skills.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to decide which combination of mindfulness, CBT, and client-centered techniques fits their goals and day-to-day needs. Adjustments are common as progress unfolds so the plan stays relevant.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into work, school, or family schedules and can reduce travel time for busy households. Some people use shorter check-ins when time is tight or choose options that avoid being on camera. Please confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are available with this therapist.
