About Arthur

Dr. Arthur Betancourt is a Florida psychologist (FL Psychologist PY5072) with three decades of clinical experience. He has spent much of his career helping adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and difficulties with anger. He works in English and practices from a clinical psychology perspective based in Florida.

He previously served on the faculty at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine for twenty-five years. During that time he saw many different patient groups and treated common problems that often come from life stressors. His work concentrated on practical ways to reduce symptoms and improve everyday functioning.

Dr. Betancourt uses an approach that looks closely at thoughts and behaviors. He helps people notice patterns that make stress or mood worse. Then he guides them toward more effective habits of thinking and acting.

Sessions focus on clear steps people can use between meetings. That may include testing new ways of responding, practicing different behaviors, or changing unhelpful thoughts. The emphasis is on skills that can be applied to work problems, family tensions, sleep or eating concerns, and managing strong emotions like anger.

He frames therapy as a process of learning and adjustment. People typically leave sessions with concrete strategies to try and a plan to follow up on progress. Those seeking help with life transitions, grief, caregiver stress, or career pressures may find this practical orientation useful.

How sessions work

How CBT informs online sessions

Dr. Betancourt uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions typically involve setting clear goals, practicing new responses, and testing changes between meetings to reduce stress, anxiety, and anger.

Because his work emphasises practical skills, sessions often include specific exercises and homework. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which strategies fit their goals and daily life. That collaboration helps pick the methods that feel most useful and realistic for work, family, or mood concerns.

The original biography does not list which online formats are used, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove the need to travel. A brief conversation at the start will set expectations and help adapt CBT tools to the format you choose.
