About Shereen
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with three years of clinical experience, Shereen Santos helps adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She focuses on the roots of difficult patterns and on how past events shape present-day reactions. Sessions emphasize understanding what happened and what survival strategies formed as a response.
Shereen uses an Internal Family Systems-informed framework and psychodynamic ideas to look at conscious and unconscious rules and beliefs that grew from childhood. She explains how those patterns can continue to affect relationships, feelings, behavior, and identity even after circumstances change. She also brings a neuroscience-informed perspective from work with neurofeedback and brain mapping to explain how the brain and nervous system respond to chronic stress.
In practice she offers psychoeducation about the physiological side of stress and trauma, and helps clients notice the links between nervous system reactions and everyday struggles. She describes therapy as collaborative inquiry rather than judgment, focusing on questions about what happened and what people learned to do to survive.
Her work is shaped by multicultural awareness. She attends to how family, culture, faith, community, and expectations shape how people understand themselves. That means cultural context stays part of conversations rather than being set aside.
Outside clinical therapy, she holds a life coach credential and has worked with leaders in corporate and pastoral settings to integrate mental health, brain function, and spiritual concerns. Her approach aims to increase understanding, develop new skills, and expand choices in how people respond to life.

How evidence-based approaches inform online work
Shereen describes her practice using an Internal Family Systems-informed frame and psychodynamic ideas. IFS-informed work involves identifying different internal parts and how they relate to one another; it can help with trauma responses, self-criticism, and regulating strong emotions. Psychodynamic approaches look at the unconscious rules and repeating patterns formed in childhood and how they affect current relationships and behavior.She also brings a neuroscience-informed perspective from neurofeedback and brain mapping experience. That perspective focuses on how chronic stress and threat influence the nervous system and can clarify why some reactions feel automatic. These explanations can make symptoms easier to understand and give practical targets for change.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will help clients test methods, track what helps, and adapt work to match goals and preferences. Together they decide whether to focus more on parts work, on exploring patterns from the past, or on nervous system regulation strategies.
