Bethany Livingston, LPC, LMHC

Bethany Livingston is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, mood swings, and concerns about eating and self-esteem. She works with individuals facing life transitions, relationship troubles, career strain, attention concerns, and obsessive or compulsive behaviors. Bethany writes plainly and listens closely to what matters most to each person she meets.

With 11 years of clinical experience, she blends a client-centered attitude with practical tools. That means sessions begin with the client's goals and move toward clear, usable strategies. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas often guide the work on thoughts and behaviors, while mindfulness techniques support emotion regulation and present-moment awareness.

Her background includes graduate study in forensic psychology and additional coursework in clinical mental health counseling. Bethany has spent her practice treating a wide range of concerns, including bipolar symptoms, OCD-related problems, process addictions, body image, and codependency. She aims to match tools to the problem rather than using one fixed method.

In sessions people can expect straightforward conversation, skill building, and steps to try between meetings. Bethany helps clients break big problems into smaller actions and practice new ways of coping. The focus is on progress that fits each person's life and values.

She sees clients in Florida and conducts sessions in English. Bethany offers a supportive, collaborative approach designed to help people move toward clearer thinking, steadier moods, and better daily functioning.

Evidence-informed approaches for remote care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation so clients can identify their own goals and solutions; it helps when someone needs space to be heard and to clarify values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention to the present moment and teaches simple practices to reduce reactivity and build steady focus.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a shared process. Bethany collaborates with each person to pick techniques that match their goals, preferences, and daily routine, and then adjusts the plan as progress or needs change.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video works well when visual cues help the conversation, phone can be quicker and use less bandwidth, live chat fits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family life while still using CBT and mindfulness tools in practical ways.
