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!

Find a therapist near you in Fort Towson, Oklahoma

Finding a therapist near you in Fort Towson, Oklahoma starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals. Oklahoma is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities, which can make it challenging to find care. BetterHelp connects you with a licensed therapist through tailored matching, so you can begin care from home or wherever works for you. 

The network includes over 30,000 licensed therapists globally, and over 4 million people have used BetterHelp to find support through online therapy. During matching, 93% of user preferences are met, which helps you connect with a therapist suited to what you are looking for. Whether you are searching for help with anxiety, trauma, affordable or insurance covered therapy, weekend or flexible scheduling, or virtual sessions, you can find a therapist and get started when you are ready.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?

Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In Oklahoma, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.

Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Oklahoma, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.

What concerns can therapists help with?

Therapists can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem and identity, people-pleasing and fear of rejection, insomnia and racing thoughts, workplace stress and burnout, substance use, parenting and co-parenting stress, grief and loss, and relationship and family challenges. Therapists on BetterHelp may draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), depending on your needs and goals. You can explore support for specific concerns on pages such as generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and eating disorders.

Please note that therapists on BetterHelp do not provide psychiatric medication management or formal diagnoses.

Online therapy vs. in-person therapy in Oklahoma

Online therapy and in-person therapy both connect you with a licensed professional, and the main difference is how you meet. In Oklahoma, online therapy through BetterHelp lets you have sessions by phone, video, or in-app messaging, so you can meet from home or on a schedule that fits your life. In-person therapy takes place at an office and may involve travel and set appointment windows. Online therapy may be more accessible for people with busy schedules, limited transportation, or a preference for a more discreet setting. Both formats can support meaningful progress, so the right choice often comes down to what fits your life.
