About Scotty
Scotty Hixson is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Oklahoma with 15 years of practice. He helps people with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes. He also supports concerns around relationships, parenting, grief, intimacy, self-esteem, and career questions.
Scotty describes therapy as a practical process. He compares it to going to the gym - awkward at first, then becoming easier as new skills take hold. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful beliefs and patterns and building concrete coping skills to change day-to-day reactions.
He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and solution-focused ideas. That means he pays attention to thoughts and habits, works with what the client wants, and breaks goals into small steps. He encourages honest conversation and prefers straightforward language rather than clinical distance.
Scotty draws on experience from outpatient, inpatient acute care, and residential treatment settings. He has worked with people facing drug and alcohol addiction, post-traumatic stress, workplace stress, communication problems, fatherhood issues, and co-morbid mental health concerns. His training includes a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Human Relations from the University of Oklahoma.
In sessions he invites openness - clients can be candid and direct about what they think and feel. Sessions move at a pace people can handle, with realistic steps and practical exercises aimed at reducing distress and improving daily functioning.
How his approaches translate to online work
Scotty commonly blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered and mindfulness-informed techniques. CBT focuses on noticing thoughts and behaviors, then testing small changes to reduce anxiety and unhelpful habits. Client-centered work emphasizes the client’s goals and priorities, letting the person guide what to address. Mindfulness methods teach attention practices that help reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. He will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit the person’s pace, and adjust if something isn’t working. The focus is practical - find what helps the individual manage stress, substance concerns, relationship problems, or mood symptoms in everyday life.

They can allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce travel time, and let people work on skills in the settings where they live and work. Licensed professionals can discuss which session rhythm or format will best match a person’s schedule and goals during the initial questionnaire and first meeting.
