About Dustie
Before becoming an LPC, she spent over 15 years working in social services supporting people and children affected by severe trauma. That background informs how she notices safety, patterns, and the everyday impacts of trauma on routines and relationships. She has worked with issues such as PTSD, domestic violence, emotional and sexual abuse, and caregiving strain.
In sessions she focuses on practical steps rather than labels. She draws on client-centered methods to follow each person’s priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. Trauma-focused work, including EMDR when appropriate, is part of her practice for people who have difficult memories.
She often uses solution-focused and motivational techniques to set short-term goals and keep progress moving. Mindfulness tools are offered to help reduce stress and improve sleep and concentration. Therapy conversations aim to be collaborative and straightforward so people feel understood and guided toward manageable change.
Choosing therapy can be hard. Dustie supports each step of the process and helps build a treatment plan that fits the person sitting in front of her. She works in English and practices in Oklahoma as an LPC.

How her approaches fit into online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s priorities. The therapist listens closely, follows what matters most, and helps people shape goals that fit their life. This approach is useful for relationship concerns, parenting stress, and building confidence.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises to change unhelpful thinking and to build new habits. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with life changes.
EMDR is a trauma-focused method that helps people process difficult memories. It is offered when trauma work is appropriate and can be helpful for PTSD symptoms and recovery after abuse or violence.
Finding the right approach is often a process. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose or combine methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in on what is working and adjusts the plan together as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer options for people who prefer not to be on camera. Ask about specific session arrangements when scheduling so they match your routine.
