About Bethany
Bethany Livingston is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 11 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strains, career pressures, ADHD, bipolar disorder, eating concerns, and other related struggles. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use right away to reduce reactivity and feel more in control.
Bethany favors a client-centered approach that keeps the person’s goals front and center. She commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and change reactions. Mindfulness practices are introduced to help notice urges, calm the body, and interrupt automatic responses.
In sessions she helps people identify patterns that lead to snapping, brooding, or bottling up anger. Conversations include concrete skills for communication, managing triggers, and handling resentment at work or home. She also addresses related issues such as body image, codependency, guilt, and sexual concerns when they affect mood and behavior.
Bethany’s background includes a Master of Arts in Forensic Psychology and graduate coursework in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. She draws on that mix of study and clinical experience to make therapy straightforward and actionable. Her work aims to help people practice new responses between sessions so progress carries into daily life.
For someone worried about temper, the focus is on learning when anger shows up, what keeps it going, and which tools reduce reactivity. The process centers on clear steps, repeated practice, and checking what actually works in the client’s everyday routine.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s goals and preferences. In plain terms it means conversations are guided by what the person wants to change. This helps when anger shows up in specific situations at work or home and the therapist and client decide which problems to prioritize.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT teaches ways to notice automatic thoughts, test whether they are accurate, and try different responses. That can be useful for interrupting the thought patterns that lead to snapping or rumination.
Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention skills and grounding exercises. These practices help people observe urges and bodily signals before acting, which can reduce reactive behavior and steady mood during stressful moments.
Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which approaches fit their goals and daily life. That choice can change over time as new strategies are tried and evaluated.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, allow quick check-ins between commitments, or remove the need to be on camera for part of a meeting. Licensed professionals often use these conveniences to help therapy feel more manageable alongside work and family responsibilities.
