About Leonard

Rev. Leonard Shepherd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with 9 years of experience offering counseling and life coaching. His work spans a broad range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, depression, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem struggles, career transitions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes. He also attends to caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, substance and process addictions, gender dysphoria, and other complex life situations.

He brings a warm, interactive style to sessions and emphasizes treating each person with respect, dignity, sensitivity, and compassion. Rev. Shepherd favors practical, individualized plans and draws on client-centered, cognitive behavioral, narrative, solution-focused, and trauma-focused methods to tailor care to each person’s needs. Rather than relying on stigmatizing labels, he focuses on strengths, values, and workable strategies that fit the client’s situation.

Rev. Shepherd combines therapeutic guidance with coaching elements to support clients as they pursue clearer goals and healthier patterns. He works collaboratively to help people identify obstacles, develop coping skills, and move toward more satisfying and manageable daily life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Rev. Leonard Shepherd uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as core tools in his online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client’s lead and helps clarify values and goals; this approach is useful for improving self-understanding, relationships, and motivation. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other mood and stress-related concerns. He also integrates trauma-focused therapy when past traumatic experiences are central to a person’s difficulties, working to reduce the impact of trauma while supporting coping and resilience.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is decided collaboratively. Rev. Shepherd works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then tailors methods and pacing to fit the individual. This collaborative planning helps ensure the work feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access care from different locations, and maintain continuity when life brings changes, while still allowing therapists and clients to engage in focused, goal-oriented work.
