Dustie Morgan-Scott , LPC

Dustie Morgan-Scott is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with ten years of experience as a counselor and more than fifteen years working in social services supporting individuals and children affected by severe trauma. She has supported people facing a broad range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship and parenting challenges, PTSD, domestic violence, and emotional and sexual abuse, as well as issues related to grief, addiction, and self-esteem.

Her therapeutic manner combines warmth with direct, practical guidance. She approaches each person with respect, dignity, and compassion and views clients as the experts on their own lives rather than relying solely on labels or diagnoses. Dustie integrates cognitive-behavioral techniques, client-centered principles, solution-focused work, and trauma-focused interventions when appropriate, tailoring a plan that fits each individual’s needs.

Working together, she and the client develop a personal dialogue and treatment plan that reflects the client’s goals and values. Dustie emphasizes encouragement and consistent support throughout the therapeutic process and aims to help clients move toward greater resilience, healthier relationships, and a clearer sense of purpose.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Support

Dustie draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and EMDR to guide her online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, creating a space where the client’s values and choices shape the work and it often helps with relationship, self-esteem, and life transition concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior and developing practical skills to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that helps process distressing memories and reduce their ongoing impact when trauma is a central issue.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the therapeutic process. Dustie works collaboratively with each person to explore goals, preferences, and needs and then recommends strategies or combinations of approaches that best fit the situation.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, family, and daily life and allow individuals to engage with licensed professionals in formats that feel most comfortable for them.
