01About Deborah
Deborah Sharp is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief. She focuses on practical support that helps people feel steadier and more able to cope day to day. Her style is respectful and compassionate, and she adapts sessions to each person's needs.
Clients can expect a collaborative approach where conversations are tailored to real problems. She listens first to understand what is most urgent, then works on small, doable steps to build confidence and forward momentum.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize skills you can use between meetings, such as grounding, thought reframing, and behavior changes. Deborah draws from several evidence-informed methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness practices. She blends these approaches to match a person’s goals rather than following a single method.
This flexibility helps when people are dealing with mixed concerns like low self-esteem plus anxiety or grief alongside depression. Her five years of clinical experience include helping people with relationship and attachment struggles, body image and self-worth issues, caregiving strain, and the fallout from separation or loss. She also assists people managing dissociation, codependency, and adjustment after disasters or abrupt life changes.
People who choose Deborah often want straightforward, compassionate help and practical tools. She aims to make therapy understandable and actionable so clients can notice small improvements that add up over time.

How Deborah’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which often helps with depression and anxiety through clear, structured exercises. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and simple grounding practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation for trauma or everyday stress.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Deborah will collaborate with each person to pick approaches that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time and checks in regularly to make sure the plan stays helpful and realistic.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet depending on what fits a person’s routine. Video calls allow fuller face-to-face conversation and demonstrations, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging are useful for shorter updates or when writing helps processing. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and daily obligations while using the therapeutic approaches described above.
