About Deborah
Deborah Sharp is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma who focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self esteem, and depression. She has five years of professional experience and aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable. Deborah approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
She adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit each person’s needs. Sessions may include practical skills for managing intense feelings, building motivation, and improving self worth. Deborah also pays attention to patterns such as codependency, attachment concerns, and control issues when they show up in a person’s life.
Her work draws on several well-known approaches including cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices. These methods are used to help people recognize unhelpful thinking, try new behaviors, and practice noticing the present moment. Deborah also uses client-centered principles to keep the focus on the person’s goals and values.
When trauma or grief are part of the story, she helps people pace their work and find concrete ways to cope day to day. For people facing relationship stress, blended family changes, or separation, the focus is on clearer communication and steadier emotional responses.
Deborah’s style is collaborative and goal-oriented. She supports people as they test small changes and build new skills. To begin, a brief questionnaire and scheduling step help match someone to a time that works for them.
How Deborah’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-based steps even when emotions are hard. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and situations where people feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It is often used for anxiety and depression. Mindfulness therapy emphasizes paying attention to the present moment and learning simple practices to reduce reactivity and build awareness, which supports stress and emotion regulation.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide what to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made.
