About Sherlyn
Sherlyn Conlan is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma who draws on 25 years of clinical experience to help people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and related challenges.
Background and approach
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside complementary approaches to address how thoughts, behaviors, and emotional patterns interact, helping clients develop practical skills for day-to-day coping and longer-term change. Her practice also attends to issues such as grief, anger, self-esteem, parenting concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
With substantial training in trauma and its effects, she attends to both the immediate and long-term consequences that adverse experiences can have on functioning and relationships. Additional areas of focus include adoption and foster care matters, attachment concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive patterns, postpartum and seasonal mood shifts, and self-harm.
Sherlyn emphasizes an empathetic, client-centered stance and partners with people to identify realistic, meaningful steps toward improved well-being. Sessions are offered through multiple online formats to accommodate different needs, and care is tailored based on each person’s circumstances, goals, and preferences.
Sherlyn’s approach balances evidence-informed techniques with a supportive therapeutic relationship to promote resilience and practical progress.
How therapeutic approaches inform online care
Sherlyn uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy as central tools in her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to emotional distress, making it useful for anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive patterns, panic, and related concerns. Trauma-Focused Therapy attends specifically to the impact of traumatic experiences, addressing symptoms of post-traumatic stress and helping clients process and integrate difficult events while rebuilding daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sherlyn collaborates with each person to determine which combination of methods best fits their goals, preferences, and the nature of their concerns, and she adjusts strategies over time as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide scheduling flexibility and greater access to care from home or other convenient locations. These options allow for skill practice between sessions, quicker check-ins when needed, and an ability to match format to the type of work being done so clients can participate in ways that suit their routine and comfort.
