Bethany Livingston, LPC, LMHC

Bethany Livingston is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, stress, or difficult changes. Bethany also works with concerns like eating struggles, low self-esteem, anger, career pressure, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and relationship issues including jealousy and infidelity.

Bethany's style is straightforward and client-centered. She listens first and then helps people set clear, practical goals. Sessions often use cognitive behavioral strategies to spot unhelpful thinking and mindfulness techniques to calm the body and attention.

Her background includes a Master of Arts in Forensic Psychology and graduate coursework in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Over more than a decade in practice she has supported people through obsessive thoughts, process addictions, body image worries, and communication problems.

In the room she helps people try small, manageable changes. That can mean practicing new coping skills, testing beliefs, or learning ways to respond differently in tense moments. Bethany aims to make therapy feel workable around daily life.

She encourages people to take the first step when they are ready. The focus is on practical support, stronger self-understanding, and building skills that carry into everyday situations.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting working relationship. Online sessions can mirror that by giving space to talk through immediate concerns and set goals together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical exercises to change them; this often works well in a few focused online sessions with homework between meetings. Mindfulness Therapy involves simple attention and breathing practices to reduce arousal and increase awareness, and these exercises can be guided and practiced during virtual meetings.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about the client’s goals, day-to-day routines, and what has or hasn’t helped before. From there, she tailors a plan and adjusts it as progress is made so the work stays relevant and doable.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, school, or caregiving by cutting travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick adjustment is needed, or longer sessions for deeper work, depending on the format offered. These practical benefits help people keep therapy going alongside busy lives.
