About Bethany
Bethany Livingston is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 11 years of clinical experience. She sees people who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or family concerns. She also works with those dealing with eating issues, body image, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and patterns like codependency.
She begins by listening to what matters most to each person. Sessions tend to focus on concrete goals and usable skills. Bethany draws on client-centered methods so the conversation stays focused on the person's priorities rather than on a fixed agenda.
She uses cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Mindfulness-based techniques are used to build awareness and reduce reactivity. Together these approaches are applied in straightforward ways that people can practice between sessions.
In practical terms she helps people address communication problems, jealousy, forgiveness, and issues around sexuality and gender identity. She also supports people facing process addictions, OCD symptoms, and problems tied to career or life transitions. Appointments emphasize small, measurable steps and learning skills that fit daily life.
Bethany trained in forensic psychology and completed graduate coursework in clinical mental health counseling. Her background informs a focus on clear thinking, evidence-based strategies, and workable tools. To begin, she asks clients to describe what they want to change and then helps map out the next steps.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to remote work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. In online sessions this means the conversation starts with the person's priorities and builds practical tasks from there. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Practically, CBT online often uses short exercises and homework to test different ways of thinking and acting. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and increase awareness; these practices can be guided in-session and practiced between meetings.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose which techniques to try first, adjusting based on goals and what feels helpful. That collaborative process includes checking progress and switching strategies if something isn't working.
The original biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. Online work can make it easier to practice skills between sessions and to bring real-world situations into conversations without promising any particular format.
