About Arthur

Dr. Arthur Betancourt brings a cognitive behavioral approach to psychological care, drawing on three decades of clinical experience in Florida.

Background and approach

He uses structured, evidence-informed techniques to help people identify the thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress, then supports them in adopting more effective ways of thinking and coping.

His work has emphasized helping people manage anxiety and depression that arise from life stressors, and he has extensive experience guiding clients through relationship strains, grief, caregiving challenges, and major life changes.

Before focusing full time on clinical practice, he spent many years on the faculty at a medical school where he worked with diverse patient groups, which broadened his familiarity with complex presentations such as bipolar disorder, sleep and eating concerns, and adjustment to serious medical issues like cancer and hospice care.

He accepts English-speaking clients in Florida and offers multiple remote session formats to accommodate different needs. Dr.

Betancourt describes therapy as a collaborative effort to explore patterns, try practical strategies, and improve daily functioning and well-being.

CBT-based Care Available Online



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is central to his online practice; it focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and improve coping with stress. CBT sessions typically include collaborative problem-solving, behavioral experiments, and skill-building aimed at changing patterns that maintain emotional difficulties.

He also applies CBT principles when addressing stress related to caregiving, medical issues, grief, and life transitions, adapting interventions to the specific problem and daily routines of each client. Finding the right therapeutic approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to assess needs, set goals, and try strategies that fit the person's preferences and life circumstances, adjusting techniques as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. These formats support ongoing skill practice between sessions and allow licensed professionals to maintain continuity of care for clients in Florida who prefer remote options.
