Sharhonda Givens, LPC

Sharhonda Givens, LPC, offers warm, person-centered care for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, and major life changes. She practices in Oklahoma and aims to make sessions a place to slow down, notice what matters, and take the next small step forward.

Givens brings a lived perspective as a Black woman of faith into her work. That background shapes how she listens and responds, and she often focuses on women’s emotional wellness, identity, and questions about life purpose. She also helps people cope with attachment concerns, abandonment wounds, and the strains of caregiving.

Her approach blends client-centered methods with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices. In sessions she encourages plain talk about thoughts and behaviors, and she offers tools to reduce anxiety and manage overwhelming reactions. Motivational interviewing helps when clients want to change habits or clarify goals.

Because she centers practical steps, clients can expect a mix of reflection and action. Conversations often include clearer communication skills, ways to handle guilt or shame, and strategies to feel less isolated. Givens aims to help people reconnect with themselves and move toward greater self-love.

She has three years of experience as a licensed professional counselor. People interested in working with her should review session options and scheduling before booking to confirm current arrangements.

Approaches used in online counseling and how they help

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. It creates space to talk through what matters most and to set goals at a comfortable pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors and adds practical exercises to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs and goals. If an approach doesn’t fit, she will help adjust the plan so sessions stay useful and relevant.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support continuity during life transitions and help people practice new skills between meetings.
