Betty Hull-Williams

Betty Hull-Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, and struggles with addiction. She lists Women's issues among her focus areas and also works with LGBT concerns, grief, self-esteem, bipolar symptoms, and coping with life changes. Betty writes in straightforward terms and aims to make therapy a practical process.

Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on clear goals and real steps clients can try between meetings. She draws on methods like cognitive behavioral work, emotion-focused techniques, and EMDR to address painful memories and patterns. Conversations are guided by active listening, encouragement, and nonjudgmental feedback.

Betty trained at Oklahoma State University, earning a Master of Science in Community Counseling, and also holds bachelor’s degrees in Psychology and Criminal Justice. She has worked in a range of settings since 2000, including correctional settings, drug court programs, homeless services, and methadone clinics in supervisory and therapist roles.

In private practice she sees adults and supports those managing mood instability, addiction issues, identity questions, relationship stress, and crisis moments. Therapy often blends practical skill-building with deeper processing, depending on what a client needs.

Her style aims to help people notice patterns, practice new responses, and move toward a life they value. To begin, she asks clients about current goals and tailors the work to fit those priorities.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting, respectful relationship and following the client's lead; it helps people clarify what matters and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change them; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity when those memories keep disrupting daily life.

Figuring out the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels manageable, then recommend which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change over time based on progress and feedback.

Confirm the session formats directly before booking, as current options are not listed here. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins between appointments, and making scheduling more flexible around work or family commitments. They also make it easier to continue care while away from a regular office. Licensed professionals will help shape the work to fit each person's needs and daily routine.
