About Deborah
Deborah Sharp is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Oklahoma with five years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. Deborah helps clients who struggle with motivation and confidence and who want practical ways to manage daily challenges.
Her approach focuses on direct conversation and practical tools. She listens to what matters to each person and uses methods that fit those goals. Sessions emphasize clear steps people can try between meetings, not abstract lectures.
Deborah draws from several evidence-informed methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness-based strategies. She also uses client-centered techniques and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy when helpful. These approaches are used to reduce unhelpful thinking patterns, increase coping skills, and build steadier reactions to stressors.
Over the course of five years she has supported clients through grief, relationship changes, and the aftermath of abuse and trauma. She works with issues such as attachment or abandonment concerns, body image, codependency, and navigating separation. Her work also addresses communication and control problems, dissociation, and the stress faced by caregivers.
Sessions are conducted in English. Deborah asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire to match goals and schedule their first session. Costs vary with location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How Deborah uses therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and clarify what matters most, which can be useful for social anxiety and avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness practices to reduce reactivity and build steadier attention during stressful moments.Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Deborah will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and personal comfort. That means trying a few strategies and adjusting based on what helps most in real life.
The practical benefits of online work include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and the option to use different formats when arranging appointments. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which options are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it simpler to check in between commitments, use shorter time slots when needed, and practice skills in the settings where anxiety shows up.
