About Sherlyn
Sherlyn Conlan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with 25 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, depression, ADHD, and related mood and adjustment issues. Sherlyn works with adults who are coping with life changes, grief, anger, self-esteem struggles, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach combines straightforward, skills-based work with attention to how past trauma affects daily routines and relationships. She uses methods that encourage noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing practical changes in behavior. Sessions often include clear steps and short-term goals to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.
Sherlyn also brings experience in adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, and caregiver stress. She addresses obsessive or compulsive behaviors, panic and mood disorders, postpartum depression, and seasonal affective patterns. When self-harm or severe distress appears, she focuses on immediate safety planning and coping strategies.
She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), client-centered techniques, solution-focused planning, and trauma-focused practices. That mix helps people identify patterns, try different responses, and track what works over time. Language is plain and sessions are procedural - she outlines options, practices skills, and reviews progress.
To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session. Sherlyn’s practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time; costs vary with location.
How Sherlyn’s approaches work for online sessions
Sherlyn uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns that increase distress and then try concrete changes in thinking or behavior. CBT sessions tend to be structured and goal oriented, with homework and tracking to test what helps reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.She also applies Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match personal values. ACT can help with persistent worry, grief, or caregiver strain by shifting attention toward achievable behaviors.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Sherlyn will collaborate with each person to decide which approach fits their goals, combining CBT, ACT, and trauma-focused techniques as needed. The plan is reviewed regularly and adjusted based on progress and client preference.
Session formats should be confirmed before booking; the biography does not list specific formats. Ask about the available options during the matching and scheduling process. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can focus on practical skill practice and consistent follow-up.
