About Bethany
Bethany Odom is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with five years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, depression, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem concerns. Bethany also addresses parenting and career questions and offers coaching-style support for life purpose and midlife transitions.
Her approach centers on practical, evidence-informed methods. She uses client-centered techniques to make sessions collaborative. She brings in cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills for emotional regulation when those tools fit. Mindfulness practices and emotionally-focused ideas are available to help people notice and shift patterns.
Bethany works with people facing adoption and foster care issues, body image and eating-related concerns, chronic illness or caregiver stress, and communication or control problems. She also supports those dealing with cancer, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and grief after loss. Sessions address impulsivity, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness as part of broader care.
In the room she helps clients name specific problems, set short-term goals, and try practical exercises between sessions. Expect a blend of talking, skill practice, and guided reflection. The focus is on small, concrete steps that fit daily life.
Her practice is based in Texas and sessions are conducted in English. Bethany uses approaches that emphasize collaboration and skill-building, and she works with each person to decide which methods make sense for their needs.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and collaboration. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what she hears, and helps the client set goals. This approach is useful when someone wants a steady, respectful process of self-examination.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors together. Sessions include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood, and stress because it gives clear tools to try between meetings.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These skills are practical and can be practiced in daily life to reduce reactivity and improve communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will review goals, try methods, and adjust the plan together. That lets the person test what helps and keep what is useful.
