About Sharolyn
Dr. Sharolyn Wallace is an LCSW licensed in Oklahoma with 31 years of practice. She works with adults who are facing family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, self-esteem concerns, coping with life changes, and issues of guilt and shame.
She listens for concrete patterns that make daily life harder. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what practical changes could help. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at helping a person talk through painful memories or decisions without judgment.
Her background includes long experience in community and clinical settings across a range of family and trauma-related concerns. That work informs how she notices family of origin dynamics, attachment issues, and stress that comes from caregiving or blended family situations.
She often addresses problems such as abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, communication and control issues, and the strain following divorce or separation. First responder stress and coping after natural or human-caused disasters are also within her care focus.
In sessions she helps people break down heavy feelings into manageable steps. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and practical conversation to identify patterns, build skills, and practice different ways of responding. The aim is clearer thinking and more workable choices, not quick fixes.
To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The site’s online therapy options button starts that process and explains the next steps.
Evidence-based approaches and how they translate online
Dr. Wallace uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma and family-related concerns. One common approach focuses on practical skill building - teaching concrete ways to respond to triggers, improve communication, and manage intense feelings. This helps people who struggle with repeated patterns in relationships or parenting.Another frequently used approach examines how attachment and family history shape current reactions. That work looks at specific interactions and beliefs learned over time, then tests different, more workable ways of relating to others and to oneself. Both approaches aim to change what happens in daily life, step by step.
Deciding which method to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will review the client’s needs, goals, and preferences and discuss which techniques seem most useful. The choice can be adjusted as sessions progress to fit what is proving most helpful.
