About Bethany
Bethany Odom is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. She has five years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and grief. Bethany focuses on clear, practical steps that clients can use between sessions.
She meets people where they are and listens first. Sessions aim to make sense of difficult feelings and find manageable next steps. Bethany uses everyday language and concrete tools instead of jargon.
Her work draws on several evidence-based methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and emotion-focused ideas.
Background and approach
She helps people notice unhelpful thinking, try small behavior changes, and practice emotion skills when things get intense. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and career or life-purpose questions. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care concerns, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and end-of-life and hospice-related challenges.
Sessions can include short-term coaching goals or longer work on deeper patterns. Bethany encourages collaboration on goals and adjusts the pace to fit each person. Her approach is practical, steady, and aimed at helping people feel more able to handle daily demands.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. It emphasizes the client's goals and experiences and helps people feel understood as they work through anxiety or life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical strategies to test unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and lift mood.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping under stress. It includes techniques for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Bethany will discuss options and tailor methods to a person's goals, preferences, and the particular problems they bring. The process is collaborative and adjusted over time.
Online therapy with Bethany can happen by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skills practice, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can fit short check-ins or ongoing coaching supports. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and try different formats to see what works best.
