About Bethany
Bethany Odom is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Texas. She supports people facing depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and questions about life purpose. Bethany focuses on practical help so clients can feel steadier day to day.

Her approach is warm and client-centered. She listens first, then offers tools that match each person's needs and pace. That can mean using cognitive-behavioral strategies to shift unhelpful thinking or practicing mindfulness to manage anxious moments.

Additional areas she addresses include adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image, and career questions.

Prospective clients in Texas can expect a respectful, steady therapeutic relationship centered on real-life solutions.
How her approaches map to online therapy
Client-centered work focuses on understanding each person's goals and priorities. In practice this means sessions begin with listening and collaborative planning so therapy fits the client's life and needs.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday problems where practical steps can reduce distress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills help when emotions feel overwhelming or when people want steadier reactions in relationships and at work.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily schedule. That collaboration can include trying different techniques and adjusting as needs change.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats available before booking since the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about which format would best support your goals and routines.
