About Arthur
Dr. Arthur Betancourt uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people manage strong emotions and stressful situations. He is a Florida psychologist with many years of clinical experience.
He writes in plain terms and focuses on practical changes people can try right away. Dr. Betancourt spent a large part of his career on the faculty at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.
He worked with people who came in with anxiety and depression tied to life stress.
Background and approach
That experience shaped his interest in teaching clearer ways to think and act when life feels overwhelming. In sessions he helps people notice how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going. Then he works with them to try different, more helpful ways of thinking and behaving.
The aim is to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. Dr. Betancourt has focused attention on a wide range of concerns.
These include stress, relationship strain, grief, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting challenges, anger, and coping with major life changes. He also addresses issues such as aging and caregiver stress when relevant to an individual. With three decades of work in clinical settings, he brings steady, experience-based guidance rather than quick fixes.
The approach is collaborative: he partners with each person to set goals and try practical strategies that fit their life. If someone wants a straightforward, skills-based approach to handling strong feelings or persistent stress, his method emphasizes clear steps to change thoughts and actions.

How CBT translates to online therapy
Dr. Betancourt practices Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice and change the thoughts and actions that keep problems going. CBT typically involves identifying patterns of thinking, testing those thoughts in real situations, and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, anger, and stress-related symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and daily life. Together they set clear, manageable tasks to try between sessions and check what helps and what needs adjusting.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls let people work face-to-face when bandwidth and a quiet space are available. Phone sessions can be simpler when video is difficult. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing homework discussion, or when typing fits someone’s routine. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work consistently from different locations.
