About Deborah
Deborah Sharp is an Oklahoma Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. Her practice also addresses related concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, codependency, and the aftermath of divorce or separation.
Deborah uses straightforward talk therapy to help people figure out what matters next. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns that keep someone stuck. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are offered when people need ways to manage strong emotions and stay present.
Sessions focus on practical steps and on clarifying values and priorities. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors in daily life. Work may include short behavioral experiments, emotion regulation skills, and values-based goal setting.
Deborah adapts conversation and treatment plans to each person’s situation. She emphasizes respect and sensitivity in sessions while keeping guidance concrete. People often come with a recent life change or loss and want help deciding what to do next; her approach centers on making choices that fit the client’s life.
She practices in Oklahoma and conducts sessions in English. Deborah asks new clients to complete an initial matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to begin planning treatment.
How Deborah’s clinical methods translate to online sessions
Deborah commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. ACT helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when emotions are difficult. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening carefully and shaping conversation around the client’s concerns. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and uses practical exercises to test new ways of responding.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to weigh goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they try different methods and adjust the plan based on what feels most useful for daily life and decision-making.

Many people find it practical for continuing steady work on goals after a major life change, while still keeping therapy focused on clear steps and skills practice.
