Dr. Arthur Betancourt

Dr. Arthur Betancourt is a clinical psychologist based in Florida. He brings three decades of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and career concerns. He uses straightforward talk and practical tools to help people change thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of daily life.

Before moving into private practice he spent many years on the faculty at the University of Miami, Miller School of Medicine. There he worked with a wide range of patients who often came for anxiety or depression linked to life stressors. That work shaped his focus on clear, evidence-informed methods that address current problems.

In sessions he asks people to look at how thoughts and actions affect mood and functioning. Then he supports learning and practicing new, more helpful ways of thinking and behaving. The aim is to reduce distress and improve day-to-day coping rather than rely on abstract theory.

Dr. Betancourt also helps with relationship strain, grief, sleep and eating difficulties, anger, and caregiving stress. He works with people facing major life changes, chronic illness, aging issues, and career crossroads. His approach stays practical and goal-focused to help clients make steady progress.

He is licensed as a Florida Psychologist, FL Psychologist PY5072, and offers services in English. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

Using CBT Online to Tackle Stress and Goals

Dr. Betancourt practices Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a hands-on method that helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and change the behaviors that keep problems going. CBT often involves short experiments, homework, and clear steps to reduce anxiety, improve mood, or address sleep and eating patterns.

He focuses on concrete skills that people can use right away, such as changing thought patterns and practicing different behaviors. Finding the right approach is part of the work - the therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and adjust methods together in a collaborative way.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow follow-ups without taking long breaks from work. Some formats may also suit shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require video when bandwidth is limited. Talk with the clinician about scheduling, session length, and any practical needs so the format fits your life.
