About Sherlyn
Sherlyn Conlan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 25 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety while also addressing depression, trauma, and related concerns. Sherlyn uses practical talk and clear steps so clients can make steady progress.
Sherlyn draws from several proven approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. She helps people identify the thoughts and behaviors that get in the way, then practices new ways of responding.
Background and approach
Sessions are goal-oriented and grounded in everyday life, not long theory talks. People come to Sherlyn for issues such as grief, anger, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. She also works with concerns like ADHD symptoms, parenting stress, attachment and adoption matters, obsessive thoughts, panic attacks, postpartum depression, and mood disorders.
Her experience includes long-term and short-term work depending on each person's needs. Sherlyn aims to make therapy a collaborative process. She listens first, then helps set clear goals and steps to reach them.
Over time clients build tools to manage symptoms and handle setbacks more effectively. Sessions can take different forms to fit a person's schedule and comfort. Sherlyn offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to keep communication flexible and ongoing.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and ongoing life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that fuel anxiety or depression. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on understanding how past traumatic events affect daily life and relationships, and it uses targeted strategies to reduce their ongoing impact.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sherlyn collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, pace, and preferences. She listens to what matters most and adjusts strategies as progress is made so therapy remains relevant and achievable.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions let people meet face to face when helpful, phone calls work well with lower bandwidth, live chat can fit a short check-in during a busy day, and text messaging supports ongoing skill practice between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines.
