De'Shaun Thornton, LPC — Therapist in Oklahoma

Hi there, I'm De'Shaun!

I take an integrative, holistic approach to therapy, helping clients understand the powerful connection between mind and body. I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, trauma, anger, behavior modification, and depression, empowering them to make meaningful changes and find genuine emotional well-being.

My focus

I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, anger, trauma, behavior modification, and depression. I meet each person where they are, understanding the complexity of their experiences and respecting their unique backgrounds. I help individuals and families discover tools that nurture resilience and restore hope.

My approach

My therapeutic approach honors both mind and body. I draw from Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy while incorporating integrative practices that recognize how nutrition, movement, and mindfulness influence emotional state. Through psychoeducation, skill-building, and compassion, I tailor methods to each individual.

My communication style

Clients describe our work as nurturing and empowering. I cultivate a warm, non-judgmental environment where it's safe to explore your thoughts, feelings, and personal history. Working with me feels like having a trusted partner who truly listens, encourages honest reflection, and supports you as you find solutions aligned with your values.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path to becoming a therapist was guided by a deep commitment to understanding people and supporting them in moments of vulnerability. I witnessed the tremendous impact that empathy, education, and skill-building could have on individuals and communities. Today, I am driven by the fulfillment of seeing clients find resilience and joy.

My goals for you

I believe in collaboration and personalization. We'll work closely to identify your specific needs, hopes, and priorities, then create realistic, meaningful goals that honor your personal growth. As you progress, we'll celebrate your successes and refine your objectives, ensuring therapy remains dynamic, responsive, and deeply supportive.

Our first session

In our first session, you can expect a warm welcome and genuine curiosity about your story. We'll explore your concerns, discuss what brings you to therapy, and clarify your hopes for the future. Together, we'll establish safety and trust, laying the groundwork for a therapeutic relationship where you feel heard, respected, and optimistic.
