About Betty

Betty Hull-Williams is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Oklahoma with 18 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

She takes a straightforward, person-focused approach. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Betty uses what fits the person in front of her, often drawing on cognitive behavioral ideas and trauma work when those fit the problem.

Her background includes a Master of Science in Community Counseling from Oklahoma State University and bachelor's degrees in Psychology and Criminal Justice. She has worked across settings, including correctional facilities, drug court programs, homeless services, and methadone clinics. That history informs how she helps people manage crises and move into steadier routines.

In practice she mixes several approaches depending on needs. That can mean working on thinking patterns that keep stress and depression active, learning skills to tolerate strong emotions, or using trauma-focused methods when past events are getting in the way. Conversations also cover relationship patterns, communication problems, and issues around identity.

Sessions aim to be practical. People often leave with small, doable steps to try between meetings. Betty also supports work on longer-term concerns such as substance dependency, complicated grief, or rebuilding after betrayal. She works in English and sees adults in Oklahoma.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Betty commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and relationship problems. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that uses structured processing to reduce the ongoing impact of distressing memories and learning to respond differently to triggers.

She also uses Client-Centered principles, which emphasize listening and responding to what the person says matters most. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that seem most helpful for the situation.

The original biography does not specify which session formats are offered online, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Many people find remote sessions useful for continuing steady work on stress, mood, trauma processing, and relationship habits while juggling daily responsibilities.
