About Bethany
Bethany Odom is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on common early adult concerns like anxiety, stress, depression, and questions about career and life purpose. She also lists support for grief, ADHD, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and self-esteem in her work.
Bethany keeps sessions direct and practical. She uses methods that help people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice new coping skills, and make small changes that fit day-to-day life. Conversations tend to include skill practice, real-world problem solving, and checking progress between meetings.
Her background emphasizes working with people across several life stages, including young adults and those facing midlife questions. She has experience addressing communication problems, social anxiety, and issues connected to adoption and foster care. Bethany also notes work with caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image, and end-of-life concerns such as hospice and bereavement.
In session she draws on client-centered approaches alongside cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness practices. She also uses elements from dialectical behavior therapy and emotionally-focused work when they fit a person's goals. The focus is on understandable steps rather than jargon or lengthy theory discussions.
Bethany practices in Texas and conducts therapy in English. Sessions are subscription-based and can be canceled at any time. To begin, a user completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session through the See online therapy options button.
How Bethany uses practical therapies online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s concerns and priorities. It gives the client space to set goals while the therapist reflects and supports decision-making. This approach suits people who want straightforward, person-led sessions that begin with their current needs.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It includes exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build coping strategies for anxiety, depression, or stress. CBT is often helpful for goal-oriented work like managing panic, improving mood, or changing unhelpful habits.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers practical skills for managing intense emotions and impulsivity. It teaches techniques for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. People who struggle with overwhelming feelings or impulsive choices often find the concrete skills useful.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that match what the person wants, and adjust over time. That means sessions can shift between listening-focused work and skill-based practice as needs change.
