About Callista
Callista Shrum is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, anger, depression, and struggles with self-esteem. She speaks English and draws on seven years of clinical experience to offer direct, practical support. Callista aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and respectful.
Callista focuses on helping people manage symptoms and regain everyday functioning. She works with those dealing with substance use concerns, panic attacks, mood disorders, and the effects of trauma and abuse.
How Callista works
Her practice also addresses issues such as codependency, communication problems, guilt and shame, and isolation or loneliness. Her approach centers on tailoring care to each person. She meets people where they are and helps set clear, realistic goals.
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on skills people can use between meetings. Callista has experience with challenges tied to first responder roles and with complicated clinical situations like co-morbidity and personality-related concerns. She supports people through postpartum depression and post-traumatic stress as well.
Therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Pricing varies by location and therapist availability, and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, select the Start Therapy button, fill out a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
Callista uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and symptom relief. One common approach she uses emphasizes building coping skills for anxiety and panic; this involves learning breathing strategies, grounding techniques, and steps to manage sudden symptoms. Another approach targets mood and trauma-related problems by helping people process distressing experiences and develop routines that reduce depressive symptoms and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your concerns, goals, and preferences and then recommend techniques that match your needs. That choice is revisited regularly so care stays useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when that feels helpful, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer quick, flexible ways to share updates or get support between longer sessions. These options make therapy more accessible for people with busy days or mobility limits.
