About Dustie

Dustie Morgan-Scott is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma who brings a decade of counseling experience alongside more than 15 years in social service work supporting people and children impacted by severe trauma.

Background and approach

She has worked with a broad range of concerns including depression, anxiety, PTSD and other trauma-related difficulties, relationship and parenting challenges, domestic and sexual abuse, and issues such as grief, addiction, and compassion fatigue. Her therapeutic stance is warm and direct, grounded in respect, dignity, and compassion.

Dustie treats clients as the experts on their own lives and favors collaborative care that avoids overreliance on labels. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered principles, and solution-focused strategies, and integrates trauma-focused work such as EMDR when clinically appropriate to tailor treatment to each person’s needs.

Clients who seek a therapist who balances empathic listening with practical, goal-oriented tools may find her approach helpful. She emphasizes partnership in creating a treatment plan and offers coaching-style support alongside clinical interventions to help clients move through life changes and toward better day-to-day functioning.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Healing and Growth



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, skills-based approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; it is often used for concerns like anxiety, depression, and stress management. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, creating space for clients to explore their experiences and discover their own solutions with the therapist acting as a respectful guide. When trauma is a central concern, EMDR may be integrated as a trauma-focused option to process distressing memories and reduce their ongoing impact.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean blending techniques over time, adjusting pacing, and refining goals together so the plan feels authentic and practical.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to attend regularly around work, family, or health needs. These formats support continued access to licensed professionals and enable consistent progress while accommodating different communication styles and schedules.
