About Betty

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 18 years of experience, Betty Hull-Williams focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationships, trauma and abuse, and mood concerns like depression and bipolar. She works with people around grief, intimacy issues, self-esteem, and life changes. Sessions address identity and LGBT concerns, family-related stress, and practical coping skills.

Betty uses a mix of approaches to fit each person's needs. She applies Client-Centered methods to listen and reflect, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation, Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas for relationship work, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for trauma processing. She draws on these methods to help people manage symptoms and solve everyday problems.

Her background includes a Master of Science in Community Counseling from Oklahoma State University and two bachelor degrees in Psychology and Criminal Justice. She has worked in corrections, drug court programs, homeless services, methadone clinics as a clinical supervisor, and as a program director and therapist. Those roles shaped her practical approach to addiction and crisis issues.

In private practice she sees adults and adolescents and offers work on substance use, mood instability, identity concerns, relationship and marital problems, anger, and crisis intervention. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, skill-building, and real-life problem solving.

Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary by location.

How her approaches shape remote work

Betty commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday problems because it focuses on concrete skills and step-by-step practice. She also uses EMDR for processing traumatic memories when appropriate; EMDR aims to reduce the intensity of distress tied to past events through guided reprocessing. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for people who struggle with intense emotions.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals and try methods that match those goals. Adjustments are made as progress and preferences become clearer, so the approach can shift over time.

The practice’s session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce travel time, and avoid the need to be on camera for every meeting. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT assignments, DBT skills coaching, and EMDR-focused work to remote sessions when appropriate, and the therapist will discuss what will work best during the intake process.
