About Sally
Sally Townsend-Wellons is an LCSW - a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Oklahoma with 11 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and related problems like depression and sleep disruption. Sally helps people notice patterns that come from earlier family life and how those patterns affect today's relationships and choices.
She uses practical, conversational work in sessions. That means talking about concrete situations, trying small changes, and checking what helps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of that approach when the focus is on thoughts and behaviors that keep someone stuck. Client-Centered Therapy guides how she listens and follows what matters most to the person in front of her.
Narrative Therapy is another tool she draws on to help people separate themselves from painful stories they carry from childhood. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past upsetting events are part of the difficulty. The emphasis is on manageable steps rather than big explanations.
Sally has worked in roles that involved family conflict, parenting supports, and responses to trauma and abuse. That experience informs how she structures sessions and sets realistic goals with clients. She aims to help people improve communication, manage strong emotions like anger or grief, and make everyday routines like sleep and caregiving feel less overwhelming.
Sessions are practical and grounded. People leave with things to try between meetings and a clearer sense of what to work on next.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Sally uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on what matters most to the client, listening closely and following the person’s priorities. That approach helps when someone needs a clear, respectful space to talk about family expectations or current stressors.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT is useful for managing anxiety, sleep disruption, and patterns that come from family of origin experiences. Narrative Therapy is used to help people separate themselves from negative stories learned in childhood and to try new ways of describing their relationships.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sally will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how different methods might fit. She sees the decision as collaborative and adjusts plans based on what is helpful in practice.
