About Sally
Sally Townsend-Wellons is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Oklahoma. She draws on 11 years of clinical experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. Sally aims to make the first step toward change feel less overwhelming and more manageable.
She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through difficult feelings. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and on practical steps they can try between meetings. Sally listens closely and helps people find clearer ways to think about problems and decide on next steps.
Her work often addresses relationship strain, parenting concerns, intimacy-related difficulties, and family problems. She also supports people coping with chronic pain, caregiver stress, abandonment, and life changes. Sally lists coping with natural or human-caused disaster among her focus areas when it affects daily functioning.
Sally uses several approaches to guide therapy, choosing methods that fit each person’s needs. She draws from Client-Centered Therapy to center the person’s own goals, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, Narrative Therapy to reframe personal stories, and Trauma-Focused Therapy when past harm affects current life.
People who work with Sally can expect a steady, down-to-earth style and an emphasis on small, doable changes. Her approach combines listening with clear tools so progress can feel real and understandable.
How her approaches guide online therapy
Sally combines Client-Centered Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy to shape her work. Client-Centered Therapy means sessions focus on the person's goals and experiences, with the therapist following the client's lead and reflecting what matters most. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on how past harm affects present life and uses paced, deliberate methods to lessen those impacts.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when helpful to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger by breaking larger problems into specific behaviors and thinking patterns to work on together.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sally will discuss options and help decide what fits a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made or as priorities shift.
The practical benefits of online work include making sessions easier to fit into a busy day and lowering travel time so therapy can be more consistent.
