About Arthur
Dr. Arthur Betancourt is a Florida psychologist (FL Psychologist PY5072) with 30 years of clinical experience. He works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and self-esteem concerns, and other common life strains. Sessions focus on noticing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and finding practical ways to respond differently.
Before moving to private practice he spent much of his career on the faculty at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. There he worked with many different patient groups who brought anxiety and depression tied to life stressors. That past work shaped his focus on concrete problem-solving and skill building.
His approach centers on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). He uses structured methods to help people examine unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. The emphasis is on small, testable changes rather than abstract theories.
Dr. Betancourt also addresses a wide range of related issues, including grief, sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, career concerns, and coping with serious medical issues such as cancer or end-of-life matters. He pays attention to both emotions and practical life demands.
Clients can expect straightforward discussion of the thoughts and routines that keep problems active. Sessions work toward clear, manageable steps to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. Those interested in starting are asked to follow the site's matching and scheduling steps.
How CBT translates to online sessions
Dr. Betancourt emphasizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a hands-on method that looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thinking, testing those beliefs, and trying different behaviors to see what helps. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and sleep or eating difficulties.The work is collaborative. He will discuss goals, review what has helped or not helped before, and adjust techniques based on a client's needs and preferences. Clients and therapist decide together which strategies to try and how to measure progress.
Please confirm the current session options before booking since specific formats are not stated here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a full in-person visit is impractical. Some people find phone check-ins require less bandwidth and can be a useful alternative to video, while video allows for face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Check the scheduling information to see which formats are offered for a given appointment.
