About Sherlyn
Sherlyn Conlan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, parenting strains, anger, and related concerns. Sessions are practical and straightforward, focused on helping people manage feelings and respond differently to difficult situations.
Her background includes long experience with trauma and its effects on daily life and relationships. She uses approaches that help people notice unhelpful patterns and practice new skills. That includes exercises to change thinking patterns and to clarify personal values that guide action.
Sherlyn draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and shift thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety and low mood. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people accept difficult emotions while committing to values-based steps. Solution-focused methods are used when clients want brief, goal-oriented work.
In sessions she aims to keep things direct and practical. People often work on strategies for handling anger, reducing stress at work or home, and rebuilding daily routines after setbacks. She also addresses parenting concerns, caregiver strain, and challenges related to adoption, attachment, and neurodiversity.
Her approach blends short-term problem solving with attention to deeper patterns from trauma and loss. The focus is on clear steps clients can try between meetings, and tracking what helps over time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing painful thoughts and feelings and choosing actions that align with personal values. It can help when anger or anxiety keeps you from doing things that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical steps to identify thinking patterns and test them with real-world behavior changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood problems, and responses that escalate into anger.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will review your goals, symptoms, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. That choice is collaborative and can be adjusted over time if something is not helping.
Confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and enable work from quieter surroundings when that is possible. Ask about the available session formats when you schedule so you know what will fit your needs.
