Deborah Sharp, LPC

Deborah Sharp is an Oklahoma Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and issues around self-esteem. She also addresses trauma and abuse when clients bring those concerns forward.

Deborah focuses on how patterns from early life and family of origin shape current feelings and behavior. She listens to the problem as the client describes it, then uses practical strategies aimed at reducing distress and improving day-to-day functioning. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with time spent on skills clients can try between meetings.

Her approach draws on evidence-based methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness practices. She also uses client-centered techniques that prioritize the client’s perspective. These methods are used to work on anxiety management, emotion regulation, relationship skills, and coping after loss.

Deborah emphasizes short-term tools as well as longer-term changes in thinking and behavior. She helps people notice unhelpful patterns that came from family roles or expectations, and then practice new responses. The work aims to reduce symptoms like persistent worry, low mood, or avoidance and to build clearer goals and healthier routines.

She conducts sessions in English and works within the scope of her Oklahoma LPC credential. Before booking, clients should confirm current session formats and logistics through the platform’s scheduling process.
