More about Callista

  • 10 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I'm a licensed therapist in Oklahoma with extensive experience supporting clients through life's most challenging moments. I work with individuals navigating depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, addiction, and anger management concerns. My approach is grounded in compassion and respect for each person's unique journey and values.

I specialize in helping clients explore self-love, improve communication, and work through isolation, guilt, shame, and forgiveness. I also support those facing panic attacks, PTSD, social anxiety, relationship transitions, attachment challenges, and caregiver stress. Whether you're processing workplace difficulties, women's issues, young adult transitions, or family-of-origin patterns, I'm here to help you build resilience and clarity.

I draw on evidence-based therapeutic practices to address co-occurring challenges, codependency, mood disorders, and life purpose questions. I'm particularly skilled at helping clients work through abandonment fears, control issues, self-harm urges, and the complexities of infidelity and separation.

My style is person-centered and collaborative. I believe in meeting you where you are, honoring your values and worldview, and creating a safe, nonjudgmental space for healing. I'm committed to walking alongside you as you move toward greater peace, connection, and wholeness. Taking that first step toward therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to support you.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
