About Betty

Betty Lustig is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 18 years of experience helping people navigate anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship concerns, and a range of life transitions including career changes and caregiving stress.

Background and approach

She also works with issues such as ADHD, bipolar disorder, intimacy difficulties, anger, sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue, drawing on a broad set of clinical focus areas that include family and attachment dynamics as well as chronic illness and end-of-life concerns. Her practice emphasizes a collaborative, person-centered stance that places the therapeutic relationship at the center of care.

Using Client-Centered Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), she partners with clients to identify priorities and develop practical skills for coping and growth. Sessions are organized around each client’s goals and preferences, and additional techniques are brought in as needed to address specific problems such as trauma, substance stressors, or communication breakdowns.

Based in Florida, Betty brings a calm, accepting presence and an orientation toward helping people build resilience and clearer self-understanding. She aims to create a space where clients can speak openly and work toward tangible improvements in daily functioning and emotional well-being.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes acceptance, empathy, and a nonjudgmental relationship in which the client leads the pace and focus of change; this approach helps people explore values, build self-awareness, and feel heard while facing anxiety, grief, or relationship struggles.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) uses structured techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete skills for managing symptoms like worry, low mood, sleep disruption, and difficulties with concentration or impulsivity.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together rather than a one-time decision. The therapist collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit best based on their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring, and may combine elements from different approaches as needed.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographic constraints. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care, practice strategies between meetings, and access support from a licensed professional in ways that suit everyday life.
