About Sharolyn
Dr. Sharolyn Wallace is a licensed clinical social worker in Oklahoma with decades of practice helping people facing family and parenting challenges. She focuses on family conflicts, trauma and abuse, parenting difficulties, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
Her tone is calm and direct, geared toward parents who want clear support and steady guidance. She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She creates an open environment where people can say what they feel without judgment.
Background and approach
Conversations cover patterns in relationships, communication habits, and steps families can try between sessions. Her work draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each situation. She often helps clients untangle family of origin issues, blended family tensions, and caregiving stress.
She also addresses attachment concerns, adoption and foster care matters, and the effects of abandonment. Dr. Wallace has 31 years of professional experience and holds an LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker.
That background informs how she guides families through divorce, separation, commitment struggles, and rebuilding trust after trauma. Sessions may also focus on coping with natural or human-caused disasters, first responder issues, forgiveness, and managing guilt and shame. The work moves at a practical pace, with attention to communication problems and concrete steps parents can try at home.
Evidence-based approaches for families online
Dr. Wallace uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help families and parents address real problems. One common approach focuses on improving communication and problem-solving within the family. That work involves identifying harmful interaction patterns and practicing clearer ways to express needs and set boundaries, which can help with blended family issues and repeated conflicts.Another commonly used technique targets trauma and the effects of abuse. It helps people name distressing memories, learn regulation skills, and build step-by-step plans for safety and recovery. This approach supports work on attachment issues, abandonment, and rebuilding trust after difficult events.
Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. Together they decide which approach to try and adjust it as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy families. Sessions can take place by video calls, by phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging, so parents can schedule care around school and work. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to follow through on homework between sessions.
