About Arthur
Dr. Arthur Betancourt is a Florida psychologist (FL Psychologist PY5072) with 30 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, self-esteem, parenting challenges, and other life changes. Sessions focus on practical skills for coping and managing day-to-day problems.
He previously served on the faculty at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine for many years. There he worked with a wide range of adults who brought anxiety and depression tied to life stressors. That clinical work shaped his focus on practical, problem-solving strategies.
Dr. Betancourt uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helping people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He then supports them in testing new ways of thinking and acting. The aim is to reduce distress and improve how people handle everyday demands.
In sessions he breaks problems down into manageable steps. He guides clients through examining thought patterns and trying out different behaviors between meetings. This hands-on approach is meant to produce changes people can notice in daily life.
He also addresses issues that often come with major life transitions, such as grief, caregiving stress, aging concerns, and career or financial strain. Those topics are treated with a focus on practical coping and clear strategies that can be practiced outside of sessions.
How sessions work
How Dr. Betancourt’s CBT-based work adapts to online sessions
Dr. Betancourt uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT often involves short exercises, thought records, and homework you can do between meetings to change reactions to stress and anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, concerns, and daily routines. That means reviewing what helps, adjusting methods, and trying alternatives when needed.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, allow quicker check-ins when needed, and let people use quieter surroundings or lower-bandwidth connections. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises for remote meetings so homework and skill practice remain practical and focused on everyday problems.
