About Sharolyn

Dr. Sharolyn Wallace is an Oklahoma Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with decades of practice. She helps people facing family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Her tone is straightforward and calm, aiming to make the first step feel manageable for someone already overwhelmed.

She focuses on creating an open space where people can say what they think and feel without judgment. Conversations tend to be practical and grounded, with attention to what is happening in daily life and family relationships. She encourages small, achievable steps toward clearer communication and restored confidence.

Over more than 31 years of experience, Dr. Wallace has worked with concerns that include abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment and blended family issues, caregiver stress, commitment and control struggles, and the aftermath of divorce or separation. She also supports people coping with disaster, first responder stress, guilt, and forgiveness issues.

Her approach centers on listening carefully and helping each person identify what they want to change. Sessions are collaborative and focused on real-world problems like parenting challenges, managing family roles, and rebuilding self-worth after trauma. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

If someone is uncertain where to begin, Dr. Wallace helps them set small goals and try practical strategies. She offers steady guidance and straightforward feedback while respecting each person’s pace and choices.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Dr. Wallace uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and emotional repair. One common method helps people identify patterns in family relationships and try new ways of communicating to reduce conflict and improve cooperation. Another approach focuses on processing trauma and its effects so daily life and parenting feel less overwhelming. These approaches aim to clarify problems, set small goals, and practice different responses in real situations.

Finding the right way to work together is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and collaborate on which techniques to try. Clients and the therapist adjust the approach over time based on what is helpful and what needs more attention.

The biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during breaks or between appointments. It also lets some people join from quieter surroundings or pick a meeting style that feels less demanding on the day they need support.
