About Bethany
Bethany Livingston is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Mental Health Counselor practicing in Florida. She has 11 years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or major life shifts. She welcomes conversations about mood concerns, eating and body image struggles, and questions around identity and sexuality.
Her style is practical and centered on the person in front of her. Sessions focus on what matters most to each client and build from the client’s own goals and strengths. Bethany mixes client-centered listening with clear tools so people can try new ways of coping between sessions.
She commonly uses cognitive behavioral ideas to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness practices are offered to help manage intense feelings and build more calm in daily life. These approaches are adapted to the needs of each individual.
Bethany has worked with people facing relationship strain, career stress, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and obsessive thoughts and behaviors. She also addresses issues such as codependency, infidelity, shame, and process addictions. Sessions aim to help people increase self-compassion and make steady changes.
To get started clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability. Bethany emphasizes small, achievable steps and ongoing collaboration as people work toward clearer goals.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience before suggesting steps to try. It helps people feel heard and shapes therapy around their goals and values. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses simple, practical exercises to test new ways of thinking. This can help with anxiety, depression, obsessive thinking, and behavior patterns that cause stress. Mindfulness therapy teaches short practices to notice the body and breath and to respond more calmly to difficult emotions. These skills are useful for managing intense feelings and building steady routines. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to select techniques that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean focusing more on skills practice one week and reflective, supportive listening the next. Confirm the available session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins, or reduce travel time. Some people find that working remotely helps them use learned tools during everyday moments, while others prefer in-person meetings; this therapist will help figure out what works best.Areas of expertise
