About Betty
Betty Hull-Williams is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Oklahoma with 18 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, and issues around identity and intimacy, including concerns about guilt and shame. She speaks English and practices in Oklahoma.
Betty trained at Oklahoma State University, earning a Master of Science in Community Counseling. She also holds bachelor degrees in Psychology and Criminal Justice. Her long career includes work in correctional settings, drug court programs, homeless services, methadone clinics, and private practice. That background informs how she approaches practical problems.
In sessions she uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods. She draws from cognitive behavioral approaches to look at thoughts and behaviors. She also uses EMDR for trauma-related distress and DBT skills for emotion regulation. These are mixed into a client-centered way of listening and responding.
People can expect active listening and clear feedback. Conversations focus on coping skills, communication, and steps that reduce distress day to day. She also works with relationship patterns like codependency, infidelity, jealousy, and communication problems.
Her experience includes working with substance use, domestic violence, gender dysphoria, and grief. She emphasizes concrete strategies such as motivational interviewing and mindfulness exercises alongside talk therapy. To begin, the site asks users to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Betty frames problems as challenges to be worked on together. She aims to help people manage life changes, rebuild connection, and address the specific burdens of guilt and shame without promising any outcome.
How her approaches translate to online work
Betty often uses cognitive behavioral work to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and focused, which can make it easy to use in a session to build step-by-step skills for anxiety, depression, or guilt-related thoughts.She also uses EMDR for trauma-related distress to address painful memories and emotional reactions. In an online setting this involves guided processing and bilateral stimulation techniques adapted to the session format. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness in clear, teachable steps.
Choosing a method is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, past treatment, and preferences to decide which approaches to try first. That collaborative planning helps shape session tasks and homework.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, use shorter check-ins when needed, avoid travel, and practice skills immediately between sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, EMDR procedures, and DBT skills training to remote visits so the work remains focused and practical.
