About Dustie
Dustie Morgan-Scott is an Oklahoma Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 10 years of counseling experience and a long background in social services supporting people who have survived severe trauma. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, and issues related to substance use and compulsive behaviors.
She draws on client-centered methods to make sessions focused on the person's goals and perspective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her toolkit for changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also uses EMDR and mindfulness techniques when trauma work or regulation skills are helpful.
Sessions tend to be direct and practical. Conversations focus on what is most pressing at home and in daily life. She helps people clarify goals, practice new approaches, and set achievable steps toward change.
Her background includes many years in social service roles supporting both individuals and children affected by trauma, and a decade of clinical counseling. That combination informs work with adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, blended family dynamics, and caregiver stress.
She offers support for relationship tensions, parenting strains, intimacy-related questions, and identity issues including LGBT concerns. People also seek her help for sleep and eating difficulties, chronic illness coping, anger, and career or life transition stress.
If someone wants to start, she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session so they can outline priorities and make a practical plan together.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's perspective and priorities. In practice this means the therapist listens for what matters most and shapes sessions around the client's goals and values. It helps when someone needs clear, respectful conversation about family or parenting stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works on the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. CBT in sessions breaks down specific patterns that contribute to anxiety, sleep problems, or low mood and introduces practical exercises to try between meetings.
EMDR is a trauma-focused method that uses structured bilateral stimulation alongside memory processing. When trauma or PTSD symptoms are present, EMDR may be part of sessions to reduce the intensity of distressing memories.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will review needs, preferences, and goals in early sessions and recommend a plan. Adjustments are expected as progress unfolds and priorities change.

It also lets people continue regular sessions while managing caregiving or medical demands at home. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and pacing to the online setting so sessions remain focused and practical.
