About Sally
Sally Townsend-Wellons is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 11 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and relationship strain. She keeps the space calm and straightforward so people can say what they need to say and be heard.
She draws on client-centered work to follow each person's lead and build trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small changes that can shift moods and behavior.
Background and approach
Narrative therapy helps people separate themselves from painful stories they may have been telling about their life. Sally has worked across issues related to trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, and ongoing mood differences such as bipolar disorder. She also supports people coping with chronic illness, caregiver strain, and family-of-origin problems.
Practical skills and real-world strategies are part of sessions when helpful. Her approach aims to make progress feel manageable. Sessions focus on clear goals, small steps, and checking in about what is or isn’t working.
She treats anger as a solvable concern and helps people find safer ways to express strong feelings. People who come for help can expect a warm, direct style and a focus on usable solutions. Sally works with English-speaking clients in Oklahoma and with international clients when that arrangement fits the needs of both parties.

Therapeutic approaches explained and available online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding what matters most to each person. The therapist listens closely and follows the client's pace, creating a space where people can speak openly about stress, anger, and relationship issues.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It helps people notice unhelpful patterns and try small experiments to change how they feel or act, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and anger management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try different techniques, and adjust plans based on how the client responds. That collaborative process helps match methods to individual needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls work well for a traditional session feel. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, across time zones, or when travel is difficult.
