About Bethany
Bethany Livingston is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Florida. She focuses on practical help for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, eating concerns, attention difficulties, mood swings, and life transitions. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at helping people make small changes that add up to real relief.
Bethany draws on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, and mindfulness practices to shape sessions around each person's needs.
Background and approach
She listens first, then helps people try new ways of thinking and acting that reduce distress. Sessions often include skill practice, simple experiments, and learning to notice unhelpful thoughts. Her approach emphasizes clear goals and steady progress.
People working with her might focus on improving sleep and routines, managing intrusive thoughts, reducing compulsive behaviors, or rebuilding self-worth after painful events. She also helps with body image, codependency, communication problems, and relationship concerns in individual sessions. With 11 years of experience, Bethany brings steady clinical experience without jargon.
She uses common sense tools and brief exercises people can use between sessions. Her aim is to help people feel more capable and in control of day-to-day challenges. Therapy is offered in formats that fit different schedules, and Bethany encourages a collaborative process where goals are revisited as progress is made.
She is based in Florida and conducts work in English.
How Bethany’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy means the conversation starts with the person's own goals and experiences. The therapist listens closely and shapes sessions around what matters most to the client, helping them take steps toward those goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, compulsions, and changing routines that no longer serve someone. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills and body-based noticing to reduce reactivity and build self-awareness, which can help with stress, intrusive thoughts, and urges.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and pace. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is helping and what isn’t, so the client stays involved in shaping the process.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skills practice, while phone sessions can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging let people check in between meetings or use brief coaching-style support. These options make it easier to keep momentum and fit therapy into daily life.
