About Sherlyn
Sherlyn Conlan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 25 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, or facing major life changes. Sherlyn also works with those managing parenting challenges, trauma, mood concerns, and caregiver strain.
Her approach is practical and down-to-earth. Sessions often begin with clear goals and simple steps clients can try between meetings. Sherlyn blends strategies from cognitive behavioral methods with acceptance-focused work to help people notice thoughts, test assumptions, and choose actions that match their values.
Background and approach
Trauma-focused techniques are used when past events are still shaping daily life. She pays attention to how trauma can affect sleep, relationships, mood, and parenting. The work is paced to each person's tolerance and needs rather than rushed.
Sherlyn also uses client-centered and solution-focused ideas to keep the work collaborative and goal-oriented. That means listening closely, reflecting what matters to the client, and building on strengths to find practical solutions for current struggles. Her background includes extensive experience with ADHD, attachment and adoption issues, postpartum and mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and compassion fatigue.
She frames therapy as a team effort where small changes add up over time. People who meet with Sherlyn can expect straightforward feedback, clear options for next steps, and a steady focus on skills that make daily life more manageable.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that align with their values. It can be useful for anxiety, parenting stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors through small experiments, which works well for anxiety, depression, OCD symptoms, and panic attacks.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Sherlyn works collaboratively to match methods to each person's goals, preferences, and pace. She listens to what’s most pressing and adjusts the balance of acceptance work, cognitive strategies, and trauma-focused techniques as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and use of visual tools. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Chat and messaging are helpful for short check-ins, progress notes, or practicing skills between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep consistent contact while working toward concrete changes.
