Bethany Livingston, LPC, LMHC

Bethany Livingston is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She focuses on helping people who are stressed, anxious, or struggling with self-esteem, eating concerns, mood swings, or relationship strain. Her tone is practical and calm, aimed at people looking for straightforward support.

Bethany draws on eleven years of clinical experience to tailor sessions to each person. She uses client-centered methods to listen first and shape goals around what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is one tool she uses to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of thinking and acting.

Mindfulness-based techniques are also part of her work, giving simple practices to manage intense feelings and stay more present day to day. She combines these approaches so therapy is concrete and skill-focused rather than abstract.

Her background includes a Master of Arts in Forensic Psychology and further graduate coursework in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. That training, plus over a decade in the field, informs practical steps she offers for coping with life changes, career stress, and persistent worries.

Bethany aims to help people notice useful shifts quickly and build on them. She supports clearer communication, healthier boundaries, and more dependable ways of handling strong emotions. If someone is ready to try therapy, she helps them set realistic goals and work steadily toward them.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and basing sessions on the client's priorities. In practice this means the therapist follows the client's lead, helps set clear goals, and adjusts pacing to match what the client needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a hands-on approach that looks at thinking patterns and behaviors and teaches measurable techniques to change them; it can help with anxiety, mood concerns, and obsessions. Mindfulness Therapy uses short practices and breathing or attention skills to reduce reactivity and increase tolerance for difficult feelings, which supports work on stress and self-esteem.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to decide what methods fit best based on the client's goals, preferences, and how they respond in early sessions. Goals and techniques are revisited and adjusted as progress is observed.

Session format options were not specified in the biography, so confirm current session choices before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow sessions during a lunch break or between other commitments. They also make it possible to practice skills in everyday settings and bring day-to-day examples into conversation without promising any specific format.
