About Sally
Sally Townsend-Wellons is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Oklahoma. She draws on 11 years of experience to help people handle stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and the everyday challenges of parenting. Sally creates a calm space where people can speak plainly about what feels hard.
She aims to listen without judgment and to help clients sort through thoughts and feelings. That approach is useful for concerns like sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Her work also addresses more complex issues linked to trauma and abuse, bipolar concerns, dissociation, and family-of-origin problems. She supports people coping with life changes such as divorce, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and loss. ADHD is also listed among her focus areas and may be part of conversations during sessions.
Sally uses practical methods to help people notice patterns and try new behaviors. She often draws on cognitive behavioral ideas and narrative approaches to reframe difficult thoughts and stories people tell about themselves. She also brings trauma-focused practices when past events are getting in the way of daily life.
People who come to Sally can expect straightforward conversations and collaborative planning. She helps set goals, tries manageable steps, and checks in about what is and isn’t working. The process is paced to each person’s needs and comfort.
How approach and online delivery work together
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following each person’s lead. It prioritizes acceptance and real conversation to help someone feel understood and to set goals that matter to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and practice concrete skills for managing anxiety, sleep troubles, anger, and low mood.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try an approach, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and the therapist choose methods together so the work fits personal needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skill practice and deeper discussion. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging let people send quick updates, try brief coaching, or stay connected between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and access care from different locations.
