About Bethany

Bethany Odom is an LPC based in Texas with five years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and other life transitions.

Background and approach

She blends evidence-based methods to create practical strategies for coping with everyday pressures, workplace difficulties, and personal change, drawing on approaches such as CBT alongside client-centered listening to tailor care to each person's needs. Her work often focuses on building emotional regulation, improving communication, and strengthening self-esteem so clients can move toward clearer goals and greater resilience.

She also supports those facing trauma and abuse, ADHD-related challenges, parenting concerns, and a wide range of life adjustments including caregiving stress, chronic illness, adoption and foster care issues, and questions of life purpose. Bethany emphasizes a collaborative, empathetic style that centers each person's priorities and pace.

She uses skills-based tools and reflective exploration to help individuals develop lasting coping skills and make meaningful progress toward the changes they want.

How Bethany Integrates Approaches for Online Care

CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problem-solving around specific life challenges. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and building a strong therapeutic relationship so people feel heard and can explore their values and goals at their own pace. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions and impulsivity.

Deciding which approach will be most helpful is a collaborative process. The therapist works together with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then adapts methods over time so the plan fits each person's situation and comfort level. This ongoing partnership helps ensure care stays focused and relevant as needs change.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to attend regularly, practice new skills between sessions, and access support from home or work while coordinating around daily responsibilities.
