About Sharolyn
Dr. Sharolyn Wallace is an Oklahoma-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 31 years of experience. She helps people manage family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Conversations are straightforward and focused on practical next steps.
She listens for the patterns that come from the family someone grew up in. She pays attention to how roles, expectations, and communication from childhood show up now. That includes work on family of origin issues, attachment concerns, and problems that arise in blended families or after separation.
Sessions concentrate on concrete skills and clearer communication. She talks through control and commitment concerns, caregiving stress, and feelings like guilt or shame. She also addresses adoption and foster care questions and the strain that can follow first responder work or disaster exposure.
Her style is direct and steady. She focuses on what people can try between sessions and how change fits into everyday life. Many clients work on rebuilding confidence, setting boundaries, and improving relationships with relatives or people they co-parent with.
Dr. Wallace asks practical questions and helps clients set small, achievable goals. She explains options and encourages people to take the next step when they are ready. The emphasis is on clear communication and usable strategies rather than jargon or lengthy theory.
Therapeutic approaches used and how online sessions fit
Dr. Wallace uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on improving communication and managing strong emotions. One common thread is skills-based work that teaches specific ways to handle conflict, set boundaries, and rebuild self-esteem. This helps people who notice family patterns still shaping their behavior and choices.She also uses approaches that address attachment and family-of-origin patterns by looking at how early roles and expectations affect present relationships. These methods involve identifying repeating patterns, practicing new responses, and reviewing how those experiments went in daily life.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust based on what works. Dr. Wallace helps clients decide which techniques to continue and which to change so the work fits their needs and preferences.
Confirm current session options before booking, as the original biography does not list formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule by reducing travel time and by allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people maintain continuity of care across moves within the same licensing jurisdiction. Ask about specific session formats when arranging the first appointment.
