About Me I’m a Florida-licensed therapist with more than 25 years of real clinical experience, offering warm, practical online therapy from the comfort and privacy of wherever you are. If you’re struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, relationship struggles, family tension, past trauma, grief, a major life transition, or that heavy sense of being overwhelmed and stuck — I’m here to help with proven, compassionate tools tailored specifically to you. You’ll have a safe, completely non-judgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are and feel truly heard and respected, no matter your background, beliefs, or life story. I’m a practicing Christian, and my faith quietly informs the hope and grace I bring to every session. If you’d like to include Scripture, prayer, or a Christian perspective at any point — just let me know. I’m very comfortable and happy to weave that in however much feels natural and helpful to you. If faith isn’t part of your journey right now, that’s absolutely fine; we’ll use the evidence-based approaches that fit you best. I’m here to listen deeply and provide the steady, experienced support that helps people feel noticeably better, often faster than they expect. I work with late teens (17+), adults of every age, and families. If this feels like the kind of therapist you’ve been looking for, send me a message whenever you’re ready. I’d truly love to hear your story and walk alongside you.

Hello, my name is Dr. Arthur Betancourt and I am a clinical psychologist in Miami, Florida. For the past twenty-five years I was on the faculty at the University Of Miami, Miller School Of Medicine. At UM I was able to work with a wide variety of different patient populations. Many of these patients presented with complaints of anxiety and depression secondary to different types of stressors in their lives. My clinical work with these patients was focused on helping them to cope more effectively with the stressors in their lives. This was done by firstly, helping these individuals to examine their thoughts and behaviors and how these contributed to their emotional and behavioral difficulties. Then, secondly, helping them to explore and learn/adopt new and more effective thoughts and behaviors. This process can help individuals to function /cope better. Thank you for your attention, and I look forward to working with you.

Hello and Welcome! It is great to see that you have decided to take this step into further self-discovery, self-growth, and reflection. Therapy is a process, but doesn't necessarily require you to know exactly what type of support you might need. Actually, many people enter therapy to discover they have other things they also want to address. Sometimes, it's about the rewarding process to self-discovery that can be the motivation. Regardless of how you got here, my goal is to provide you with unconditional support. My approach is about honest dialogue. Too often there is a belief that saying 'certain things' in therapy is not acceptable. The reality is that it is the best place to have such discussions about feelings, thoughts, and approaches to challenges. It is also equally important to celebrate what may even feel like small victories. As we reach adulthood, we can tend to think that celebration is less important when it is super important. I hold a PhD in Public Affairs (Social Work Focus). This credential has provided me the opportunity to continue teaching college and doing research in critical areas of mental health. I have two Masters' degrees, in Social Work and Child Development and Education. I went back to pursue my second Master's in Early Childhood because one of my specialties is parenting and providing counseling support to very young children, supporting families affected by trauma or stress due to issues with their young child, and trauma response. I am passionate about helping parents with their own anxiety and depression (or other challenges), providing support to families affected by medical stress (a child with a chronic illness or in the NICU or a parent with medical concerns), assisting with support for intervention of developmental or behavioral concerns, fertility, and/or any concerns related to your family dynamics. My experience has also been in providing different therapy interventions to young children (0-5 years) with their family. I have assisted many families in identifying and addressing family challenges that could contribute to their young child's emotional or behavioral concern. Through this platform, our focus would be on your concerns or challenges in parenting and/or mental health or other areas, and we would work together for an end goal. I am also passionate about providing individual therapy to support anxiety, problem-focused depression, burnout, and effects of trauma. These challenges can present differently for different people and no feelings are 'wrong.' Our world is filled with a variety of unique cumulative stressors and this can make it sometimes difficult to identify the cause. Things such as, burnout, from the daily challenges can create more complex feelings of loss, confusion, and depression because they are often minimized by our own beliefs. I want to conclude by sharing that not everyone requires walking through their past to understand their current circumstances. There are lots of approaches to therapy as it is just a form of support. The duration of therapy also depends on many factors, but I believe that you and I should always form goals we can track progress. I'm happy you decided to stop by and that you are considering the process of therapy. I look forward to working with you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Sociology from the University of Florida in 1996, my Master’s degree in Social Work from Florida International University in 2002, and obtained my LCSW (SW 16005) in 2019. I have experience working with adults of all ages, children, and families over the past 20 years in a number of different settings. I offer clients compassion, understanding, and patience in order to explore feelings, emotions, and patterns that may be getting in the way of living a happier and more fulfilling life. I take a person-centered approach in which clients are able to take more of a lead in therapy in order to discover their own solutions. I encourage, support, and guide the therapeutic process without interrupting or interfering with the client’s process of self-discovery. I believe in providing a safe, supportive, and caring environment for clients to be able to open up and freely express themselves. Clients are able to be vulnerable and share their fears, struggles, and emotions that they do not feel comfortable sharing with their friends or family.

I am a dually licensed clinician in North Carolina and possess an additional license in Florida as well. Having started my education later in my adult life, I believed I had arrived late to the game. But I found that life experience paired with my own belief system, allowed me the opportunity to view life's challenges through a unique lens. Throughout my career I have held different positions in mental health. I started at the bottom, and through my education worked my way up, and, because of that I have been able to experience different perspectives while working with this population. I have experience working in addictions residential treatment, Intensive Outpatient Programs, facilitating support groups, teaching life skills, as well as speaking engagements, Through a Christian approach I have worked with many individuals struggling with low self-esteem, purpose, guilt and shame, and a variety of other life's obstacles and helping clients resolve them. I believe in using a collaborative approach in helping my clients. In addition to my Christian counseling experiences, I also use a multitude of other evidence-based practices, including, but not limited to, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Motivational Therapy.
