Dr. Sharolyn Wallace , LCSW

Dr. Sharolyn Wallace is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Oklahoma. She helps people facing family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, low self-esteem, and major life transitions. Her approach is intended to be direct and supportive so people feel seen and heard from the first visit.

She draws on 31 years of professional experience to guide conversations and plan practical steps forward. Sessions focus on clear goals and small changes that can lessen daily strain. She talks through communication strategies, ways to manage guilt and shame, and methods for coping after loss or separation.

Dr. Wallace offers straightforward support for attachment and abandonment concerns, adoption and foster care questions, blended family strain, and caregiver stress. She also addresses control and commitment issues, problems coming from a family of origin, and recovery after disaster for first responders and others.

Her style is open and nonjudgmental. She encourages people to share thoughts and feelings at a pace that feels manageable. Together they clarify what matters most and plan steps that fit each person's life.

People who choose to work with her can expect regular check-ins on progress and practical tools to try between sessions. The focus is on building coping skills, improving communication, and restoring a sense of confidence and direction.

Approaches and online care that fit your life

Dr. Wallace uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One common approach is focused problem-solving that breaks larger family or parenting issues into small, testable steps. This helps people try new communication habits and track what improves day to day.

She also draws on trauma-informed strategies that help people process distressing events at a manageable pace. These methods aim to reduce overwhelming reactions and build coping skills for reminders or triggers. For issues like attachment, abandonment, or caregiver stress she emphasizes skills that strengthen relationships and self-soothing techniques.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust as progress is tracked. Clients help shape what is tried and when to change direction.

Online sessions offer practical benefits. Video calls let people maintain face-to-face connection when talking through sensitive family topics. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or sending a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief, on-the-go support between sessions and can fit into a work break or hectic day. These options aim to make consistent care more flexible and easier to schedule.
