About Sally

Sally Townsend-Wellons is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Oklahoma with 11 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and other life challenges. Sessions focus on practical ways to cope and make clearer choices when relationships or moods feel overwhelming.

She centers sessions on listening and on the person in front of her. Conversations are direct and calm. Clients talk through what is happening, what they want to change, and small steps that feel doable in everyday life.

Sally uses approaches that match the problem at hand. She draws on client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the client. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try different actions.

Narrative Therapy is part of her toolkit when people want to reframe painful stories from the past. Trauma-focused techniques are used when past events keep showing up in daily life and relationships. These approaches are practical and aimed at helping people regain a sense of control.

She works in English and accepts clients from outside the United States. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site’s online therapy options.

How sessions work

How her approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. Sessions use this approach to clarify priorities, surface what feels most painful, and decide which changes matter first.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and actions together. Online sessions can help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns, try new responses, and track results between meetings. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from the stories they tell about their past. This can change how someone understands a relationship or an old identity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses goals and preferences with each person and chooses or blends methods based on what the client needs. This is a collaborative process where plans are adjusted as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, save travel time, or allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let someone continue work while living in another region. Ask about scheduling and session length when you complete the matching questionnaire.
