About Deborah
Deborah Sharp is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Oklahoma with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. Her practice also addresses concerns such as attachment and abandonment, codependency, communication and control issues, and blended family issues.
She uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies in sessions. She draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and mindfulness to help people notice what matters and manage difficult feelings. Sessions are focused on small, usable steps rather than long lectures.
Deborah adapts the pace to each person. She listens to the immediate problem, then suggests coping skills and ways to test new choices in daily life. She often works on skills for managing anxiety, handling grief, and changing unhelpful thought patterns.
For someone joining a blended household, she can help talk through role confusion, loyalty conflicts, communication breakdowns, and setting realistic expectations. She offers practical ways to reduce tension and clarify boundaries so routines run more smoothly.
Her background includes five years of client work in Oklahoma as an LPC. Sessions combine short-term skill building with attention to longer patterns such as attachment and avoidance. People who prefer clear steps and plain language tend to find this approach useful.
How Deborah uses ACT, CBT and mindfulness in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches skills to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness therapy trains simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and calm the nervous system.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Deborah will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. She often blends techniques so sessions can focus on the most helpful tools for managing anxiety, grief, or relationship stress in a blended household.
