About Callista
Callista Shrum is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with seven years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and self-esteem concerns. Callista works with adults to address problems like panic, isolation, and substance use in straightforward, practical ways.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and make small, usable changes. Sessions typically involve clear conversations about what is happening, setting short-term goals, and trying specific coping strategies between meetings. Callista emphasizes practical steps over jargon and helps clients track what is and isn't working.
Her background includes clinical work with people affected by trauma, mood disorders, and co-occurring substance issues. That experience informs how she notices patterns of avoidance, control struggles, and shame that keep problems going. She also brings experience addressing first responder issues and challenges after childbirth, such as postpartum depression.
Callista offers help for relationship-related problems like communication struggles, codependency, and forgiveness work, always focusing on what an individual can change. She is familiar with personality-related concerns such as avoidant and antisocial patterns and how they affect daily life.
Sessions are conducted in English and are structured to fit into a client’s routine. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled. The subscription-based fee varies by location and can be canceled at any time.
How evidence-based methods are used in online sessions
Callista works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is behavioral work that breaks down fears into small, testable steps to reduce avoidance and build confidence in social situations or panic moments. Another approach uses skills training to teach breathing, grounding, and coping routines for anxiety and cravings, with practice between sessions to help those skills stick.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will review a client’s goals, preferences, and day-to-day challenges and then recommend methods to try. This is a collaborative process focused on adjusting techniques based on what helps most in real life.
Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work or family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn’t practical, and remove travel time. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while they work on stress, anxiety, trauma, or substance-related goals.
