About Sharolyn
Dr. Sharolyn Wallace helps people facing family strain, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She keeps language simple and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
Dr. Wallace is a licensed clinical social worker with decades of practice in Oklahoma. She spends sessions listening closely and asking clear questions.
That helps identify patterns that cause stress or repeat problems. Conversations are direct but respectful, aimed at small, doable shifts rather than big, vague goals.
How Sharolyn works
Her background spans 31 years of social work and counseling practice. Over that time she has supported people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, attachment concerns, and blended family strain. She also addresses caregiver stress, communication problems, and issues that follow divorce or separation.
Dr. Wallace works with people handling guilt, shame, commitment doubts, and problems with control. She has experience with first responder issues and with coping after natural or human-caused disasters.
Her approach balances practical coping skills with attention to how past relationships shape current behavior. Sessions aim to build confidence and clearer decision-making. The goal is better day-to-day functioning and more satisfying relationships.
She invites steady progress through realistic steps and ongoing support.

Approaches for families and trauma in online care
Dr. Wallace uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on real-world change. One common approach helps people look at how relationships from the past shape current reactions and connection problems. This work is practical and aims to improve communication and attachment patterns that cause repeated conflict or hurt.Another frequently applied method focuses on building coping skills for trauma and life stress. That involves learning specific strategies to manage distress, reduce overwhelming emotion, and regain a sense of control after abuse, disaster, or sudden change.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, then try methods that fit those priorities. Adjustments are made over time if something isn’t working as hoped.
Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility. Video calls let people keep visual connection when discussing sensitive material. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter audio-only check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging provide brief check-ins, written reflections, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue progress from different locations.
