About Arthur
Dr. Arthur Betancourt is a clinical psychologist based in Florida. He has 30 years of practice and draws on long experience helping people manage anxiety, depression, stress, and major life changes. He explains things in plain language and focuses on practical steps people can use day to day.
He spent many years on the faculty at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine where he worked with a wide range of patient concerns. Much of his clinical work focused on anxiety and depression that grew out of life stressors. That experience shaped a hands-on approach to problems like grief, sleep difficulties, eating concerns, anger, and coping with illness or caregiving stress.
Dr. Betancourt uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood. In sessions he helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try small changes, and practice new ways of thinking and behaving. This approach is used across issues from relationship and communication problems to career stress and financial worries.
He also supports people facing major life transitions and those coping with natural or human-caused disaster effects. Sessions aim to improve daily functioning, reduce distress, and build skills for managing future setbacks. His work includes attention to aging and end-of-life concerns as well.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow the therapist’s stated practice procedures. People who are interested are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to begin the scheduling process.
How CBT shapes online work and practical benefits
Dr. Betancourt commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a method that looks at the link between thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns, test small behavioral changes, and build routines that reduce anxiety and depression. It is often used for stress, sleep and eating problems, anger, and adjustment to life changes.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and adapt techniques that fit their situation. Together they decide which strategies to try and how to pace work between sessions.
