About Leonard

Rev. Leonard Shepherd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma who works with people facing a wide range of life challenges, including stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship struggles, trauma and ADHD.

Background and approach

He brings nine years of professional experience to therapy and blends clinical counseling with elements of life coaching to help clients pursue meaningful change. His style is warm, interactive, and respectful, focusing on individualized care rather than one-size-fits-all labels.

He draws on cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered principles, narrative methods, solution-focused tools, and trauma-focused strategies to create plans tailored to each person’s circumstances. That flexibility lets him address areas such as grief, intimacy concerns, mood disorders, caregiving stress, and issues related to gender and sexual identity.

Shepherd emphasizes collaboration and dignity in the therapeutic process, meeting clients where they are and helping them develop practical coping skills, clearer personal narratives, and measurable goals. He accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English using a range of online formats to accommodate different schedules and needs.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access

Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and respect, helping clients clarify their values and build a collaborative relationship with the therapist so they can explore personal goals and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, or problematic coping patterns. Narrative therapy helps people reframe difficult experiences by examining the stories they tell about themselves and constructing more adaptive personal narratives to support recovery and growth.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to assess goals, preferences, and life circumstances, then tailors interventions from these modalities to create a treatment plan that feels practical and achievable. This partnership-based planning allows adjustments as progress is made or needs shift.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain therapeutic momentum between meetings, and access support from different locations. Licensed professionals can use these options to combine talk therapy, skills practice, and coaching in ways that suit each client’s routine and comfort.
