About Scotty
Scotty Hixson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who uses a direct, down-to-earth style. He describes therapy like going to the gym - it can feel hard at first, but steady effort leads to clearer thinking and better coping. Scotty aims to make sessions feel relaxed and honest so people can say what they really think without judgment.
He favors a client-centered approach, so the person in the room guides what gets worked on.
Background and approach
Sessions move at a pace that feels doable, with small steps toward practical goals. He mixes in cognitive behavioral ideas to help change unhelpful thinking and behaviors when useful. Scotty brings 15 years of experience in outpatient, inpatient acute care, and residential settings.
That background includes work in mental health hospitals and substance use treatment programs. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology in 2010 and a Master of Human Relations from the University of Oklahoma in 2015, and became an LPC in 2020. Many people who contact him are facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, grief, or big life changes.
He also supports those working through relationship and parenting concerns, fatherhood issues, workplace stress, and questions about life purpose. He uses plain language and a sense of humor when appropriate. In sessions Scotty helps people identify destructive patterns and build practical coping skills.
He encourages realistic, flexible thinking rather than rigid right-or-wrong answers. The goal is clearer daily routines, better emotional control, and improved self-esteem over time.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's priorities and pace. In practice this means sessions begin with what matters most to the client and move forward at a comfortable speed. It works well for people who want control over their goals and the topics discussed.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and the behaviors that follow. Sessions using CBT include practical exercises and small experiments to change thinking and daily routines. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Scotty treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help you decide which methods fit your needs, goals, and preferences. He can blend client-centered conversation with CBT techniques and mindfulness practices based on what proves most useful.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people see body language and have longer sessions. Phone sessions work when bandwidth or screen time are limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick adjustments, or days when writing feels easier. These options support consistent contact and flexibility while working toward the same therapeutic goals.
