Dr. Arthur Betancourt

Dr. Arthur Betancourt is a clinical psychologist with three decades of experience working in Florida. He uses clear, practical methods to help people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, stress, grief, or life changes. He welcomes straightforward conversations and focuses on small, concrete steps people can try between sessions.

Before moving into private practice, he spent twenty-five years on the faculty at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. There he worked with many people who came with anxiety and depression tied to medical and life stressors. That experience shaped his calm, problem-solving approach.

In sessions he helps people look at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Then he and the client try out different ways of thinking and acting to see what helps. The aim is to make daily life feel more manageable and reduce distressing symptoms.

Dr. Betancourt also brings experience supporting people facing major life transitions, serious illness, caregiver strain, and end-of-life concerns. He frames those conversations in simple terms and focuses on practical coping strategies and decision-making support.

People who choose him can expect direct feedback, clear goals, and tools they can use between visits. He emphasizes collaboration and helps people build skills at a pace that fits their life.

How CBT shapes online therapy and practical coping

Dr. Betancourt uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, then test out new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, sleep problems, and coping with major life changes including end-of-life concerns.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to set goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan if something is not helping. This makes it easier to tailor sessions to what matters most to the client.

Confirm session formats before booking so you know what options are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow for appointments from different locations when needed. They can also support a steady series of meetings that help build skills over time without changing your routine.
