About Callista
Callista Shrum is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Oklahoma with 7 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, and self-esteem concerns. Callista also focuses on related issues such as substance use, panic attacks, mood disorders, and feelings of isolation.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients manage symptoms and build coping skills. Sessions tend to involve clear goal-setting, practical strategies for day-to-day problems, and straightforward discussion about what is getting in the way of progress. Callista emphasizes concrete steps rather than abstract talk so clients leave with things to try between sessions.
Her background includes work in settings that addressed trauma, mental health, and substance use. That experience shaped a direct, problem-focused style that aims to reduce distress and restore functioning. She pays attention to how problems like codependency, communication breakdowns, and control issues affect daily life.
Callista supports people who are dealing with panic, postpartum mood changes, grief and shame, and first-responder stress. She also helps those navigating complicated personality-related patterns such as avoidant or antisocial traits when those patterns create problems in relationships or work.
To get started, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, with costs that vary by location.
How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Callista draws on straightforward, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches breathing, grounding, and behavioral strategies to manage anxiety and panic attacks; these are practical steps for moments of acute distress. Another approach focuses on relapse prevention and coping for substance use by identifying triggers, building safer routines, and practicing new responses to cravings.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The therapist and client review goals, try approaches for a few sessions, and adjust based on what helps most. This collaborative process keeps therapy focused on problems that matter day to day and on methods the client can use outside sessions.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins between work or school commitments. Different formats can also suit low-bandwidth situations or shorter weekly check-ins when that works better for daily life.
