About Deborah
Deborah Sharp is an Oklahoma Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem concerns, and depression. Her practice also addresses related struggles such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, codependency, and the strains of caregiving.
Deborah uses straightforward conversation to help people untangle what keeps them stuck. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to identify patterns of thought and behavior. Mindfulness techniques and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are included when they fit a person's needs.
Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer choices rather than long theory. Deborah listens for recurring beliefs that feed shame or guilt and helps people test kinder, more accurate ways of looking at themselves. She works with clients to build small habits that reduce overwhelm and improve mood.
Her approach is collaborative. She invites people to set short-term goals for coping and longer-term aims for self-respect and steadier emotion. Treatment plans are shaped around what a person can realistically do between sessions.
People who reach out can expect a counselor who values respect and sensitivity. Deborah asks about what matters most to each person and adjusts therapy methods to those priorities rather than using a single fixed method.
How Deborah Uses Her Approaches Online
Deborah often works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change thinking patterns that maintain anxiety or depression. CBT sessions typically include identifying distorted thoughts and practicing new responses between meetings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is another approach she uses to help clients notice painful thoughts without getting controlled by them and to focus on actions aligned with personal values.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Deborah collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in about what is helping and adjusts strategies so sessions stay useful and realistic for everyday life.
