Find a licensed online therapist in Avant, OK

My name is Shawn Alyea. I've been a Licensed Professional Counselor and supervisor in Oklahoma for 30 years. I practice compassion driven, creative counseling with a dose of humor. I believe even during the tough times in life we can find hope and joy. In fact, growth most often occurs during the circumstances that lead us to seek support. I operate from a compassionate perspective and believe everyone deserves to be respected and valued. That is central to my relationship with clients. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy/Narrative therapy approaches along with a variety of expressive techniques to reach a point of healing. I find this to be most effective when with people towards their personal goals. I’ve worked with clients age 3 to 97 addressing the spectrum of human emotions from depression and anxiety to grief, anger, love, divorce and changes in life. I look forward to walking along side you during your journey!

As a licensed professional counselor, I believe in meeting clients on a level playing field as each client has a unique and personal understanding of themselves and is an expert in their own lives. I look to my clients to educate me on what is important to them and how we might best work together to reach a positive outcome. My fundamental belief is that most people are doing the best they can at any given point in their life and there are straight forward reasons for doing what they choose to do. I don’t get bogged down in talking about good or bad, right or wrong, or he said she said but rather what are more effective choices in creating a life worth living. I am extensively trained in both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). CBT is the number one therapeutic modality in the world bar none and was developed by Dr. Aaron Beck. I had the good fortune to receive 160 hours of advanced training by the Beck Institute. I also am certified (C-DBT) in Dialectical Behavior Therapy developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan where the focus is on making decisions about what will work effectively for you and what is not effectively. Information on both CBT and DBT are available online to help you make an informed decision on how best to move forward in your goals and in your life.
