Background and approach
Conversations are plain and direct rather than full of therapy jargon. Her work covers a wide range of family-related concerns. That includes abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, attachment struggles, blended family dynamics, and caregiver stress.
She also helps people dealing with divorce, family of origin issues, and communication or control struggles. She has supported people navigating serious events such as natural or human-caused disasters and first responder stress. Other areas she addresses include commitment issues, guilt and shame, and forgiveness.
The goal is to break difficult problems into manageable parts and find steps that feel doable. With 31 years of practice, Dr. Wallace draws on long experience to guide planning and problem-solving.
She works by listening carefully, offering clear options, and helping people try out new ways of coping. Sessions are offered in English and are based in Oklahoma.
Online approaches that fit your life
Dr. Wallace uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One approach helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to feel better day to day; it is useful for low self-esteem, motivation problems, and coping after stressful events. Another approach concentrates on relationships and attachment patterns, helping people understand family roles, repair communication, and rebuild trust after abandonment or family ruptures.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss different options, listen to your goals and preferences, and together decide which methods to try. Adjustments are made over time based on how well the strategies fit your needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a work break. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins and coping reminders easier between sessions. These options help people keep continuity of care while fitting therapy into busy schedules.
