About Sherlyn
Sherlyn Conlan is an Oklahoma Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, ADHD, grief, anger, and self-esteem struggles. Sherlyn also helps with life transitions and the exhaustion that can come from caregiving and compassion fatigue.
She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. In practice she focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions. She blends short-term strategies with attention to how past events affect day-to-day life.
Sherlyn pays close attention to how trauma shows up in routines and relationships. She works with people to identify patterns that keep problems repeating and to develop specific coping tools. Sessions often include skill practice and clear strategies to reduce overwhelm.
Her work supports people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, autism and Asperger Syndrome, caregiver stress, control issues, mood disorders including DMDD, obsessive-compulsive patterns, panic, postpartum depression, seasonal mood changes, and self-harm thoughts. She also addresses isolation and guilt.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that matter to the client. It can help with anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck by teaching people to notice thoughts and choose meaningful behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thinking, feeling, and doing. It offers concrete tools to test unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that maintain anxiety or low mood. Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at how past hurt affects current routines and relationships and uses careful, paced work to reduce the hold of painful memories.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sherlyn collaborates with each client to identify which methods fit their needs and goals. She checks in about what is working and adjusts the plan as therapy progresses so sessions remain focused and useful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, or caregiving by removing travel time and enabling shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They can also allow people to use a quieter setting, reduce the need to be on camera for every meeting, or choose a format that matches bandwidth and lifestyle. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises such as CBT worksheets or ACT practices to work in remote sessions.
