About Sharolyn
Dr. Sharolyn Wallace is an LCSW licensed in Oklahoma with 31 years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting struggles, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Dr. Wallace speaks English and practices from a background of long clinical work in these areas.
She focuses on practical conversations about what is happening at home. Sessions tend to cover communication problems, blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and the stress caregivers carry. She also addresses abandonment, attachment questions, and the effects of divorce or separation.
When trauma and abuse are part of the story, she aims to help people name what happened and how it shows up now. She addresses guilt, shame, and issues around forgiveness so people can find clearer next steps. First responder issues and coping after local disasters are also within her experience.
Her style is straightforward. She offers a space for people to talk through feelings and practical problems. Expect conversations about patterns, small changes to try at home, and ways to handle day-to-day strain.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time; costs vary with location. To begin, a person selects the online therapy options button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules a first session. Confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on understanding thoughts, feelings, and behavior. One common approach helps people identify patterns in relationships and communication, then practice different responses at home to reduce conflict and improve clarity. This can be useful for blended family issues, communication problems, or commitment concerns.Another useful approach addresses trauma by helping a person name the event and its effects, then build coping skills for strong emotions. This work aims to reduce the immediate holding patterns of guilt, shame, or avoidance and to make everyday functioning more manageable.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying one technique for a few sessions and adjusting if something else fits better.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy life and keeping continuity when schedules change. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking. Many people use online sessions to have shorter check-ins, schedule meetings around work or caregiving, or avoid travel time while still working with a licensed professional.
