About Dustie

Dustie Morgan-Scott is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with ten years of clinical experience and a longer history in social services supporting people affected by severe trauma.

She works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma-related issues. She also addresses relationship and intimacy-related problems, parenting and blended family issues, addictions, and challenges like ADHD and burnout. Her background includes work with survivors of abuse and people coping with chronic illness and caregiving demands.

Her approach is pragmatic and person-focused. She uses client-centered conversations to help people name what matters to them. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. EMDR is offered when trauma processing is appropriate.

Dustie combines practical problem-solving with mindfulness and motivational interviewing tools. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and small steps that can be practiced between meetings. She treats clients as the authority on their lives and works collaboratively on treatment plans.

People in blended households will find support for merging routines, navigating co-parenting tensions, and sorting loyalty conflicts. The work is not legal or custody advice; it is focused on coping strategies, communication skills, and emotional regulation that can make daily life easier.

Sessions are conducted in English and reflect Dustie’s clinical interests and years of work in trauma and community services.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. Online sessions using this approach look like structured, focused conversation where the therapist follows the client’s lead and helps clarify goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In an online session this often means setting small experiments, tracking thoughts, and reviewing results together. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that involves processing distressing memories; when appropriate it is offered as a targeted option to address trauma symptoms.

Deciding what approach to try is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they will choose techniques and adjust them over time until a workable plan is in place.

Confirm the available session formats before booking since this profile does not list specific delivery methods. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins during a work break, or sessions that don’t require travel. It can also allow use of screen-based worksheets, shared mood tracking, or guided mindfulness exercises. Licensed professionals adapt exercises to the online setting so the work stays practical and focused on everyday changes.
