Bethany Livingston

Bethany Livingston is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She supports people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, and big life changes. Her style is direct and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people take practical steps forward when life feels overwhelming.

Bethany draws on cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness techniques alongside a client-centered way of working. She helps people notice thoughts and habits that get in the way, practice new responses, and build routines that support better days. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, manageable changes rather than abstract theory.

Her background includes a Master of Arts in Forensic Psychology and further coursework in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Over eleven years of practice have included work with mood disorders, ADHD, obsessive-compulsive concerns, eating issues, and relationship and career stress. That experience informs how she tailors sessions to each person’s situation.

In the room, Bethany emphasizes collaboration. She works with each person to set realistic goals, try new tools, and review what helps or needs adjusting. She also addresses related concerns such as body image, codependency, forgiveness, and sexual health when they affect daily functioning.

People seeking a therapist to navigate life transitions, manage anxiety, or regain emotional balance may find her practical approach useful. If someone wants a straightforward plan and compassionate support, Bethany aims to provide both.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's needs, helping them set goals and make decisions that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and gives specific tools to change unhelpful patterns, which can be practiced between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and ease stress, useful for anxiety and emotion regulation.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose which strategies to try first, adjusts the plan based on what helps, and checks progress together. That partnership helps tailor tools to the client’s goals and day-to-day routine.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow follow-up practice between sessions. Some approaches lend themselves to short skill-building check-ins, while others use longer sessions for deeper skill practice and planning.
