About Bethany
Bethany Odom is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on depression, anxiety, stress, grief, parenting concerns, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem. She also addresses career questions and coaching-style work for life transitions, and lists guilt and shame among her focus areas.
Her sessions aim to be practical and direct. She uses client-centered work to listen and reflect, then adds skills from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy when helpful. Mindfulness and emotionally-focused ideas are available too, depending on what a person needs.
Bethany often helps people untangle everyday problems like communication breakdowns, workplace stress, and family tension. She supports people dealing with adoption and foster care questions, caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image, and concerns tied to cancer or end-of-life care. She also works with impulses, control struggles, and feelings of emptiness.
In a typical session she will talk through what matters most right now, teach concrete coping skills, and check how strategies fit real life. Sessions can include skill practice, thought work, emotion regulation tools, and simple mindfulness exercises. The pace is set by the client and guided by clinical approaches that match each concern.
Her practice serves adults in Texas and services are conducted in English. She notes that sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online options button.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy starts with the therapist listening and reflecting back what matters most to the client. Online sessions using this approach focus on understanding the client's priorities and building a collaborative plan for change.CBT is about noticing thoughts and behaviors and then trying practical experiments to shift them. In virtual sessions that can mean working on thought records, behavior activation plans, and step-by-step skills between meetings. DBT adds concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that can be taught and practiced during sessions to manage intense feelings.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and suggest which approaches to try. Decisions are collaborative and may change as progress is reviewed.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into daily life - they can schedule a shorter check-in during a break, avoid travel time, or use sessions when they need focused skill practice without arranging transport. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to work across a screen or phone call, depending on what the client prefers and what is available.
