I’m Shelly Hughes, LCSW, a therapist and the owner of Wonder Works Counseling. I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Oklahoma in 2022 and my Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice from Oklahoma City University. My approach to therapy is warm, practical, trauma-informed, and focused on helping clients understand themselves rather than simply trying to “fix” symptoms.
I work with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, ADHD, trauma, PTSD, emotional dysregulation, life transitions, relationship difficulties, and challenges related to self-esteem and coping. I have specialized training in EMDR, Play Therapy, Sand Tray Therapy, Somatic Therapy, CBT, and DBT. With children, I often use play-based approaches to help them communicate and process experiences in ways that feel natural and developmentally appropriate. With adults, I integrate evidence-based approaches with trauma-focused and somatic techniques to help clients develop greater emotional awareness, regulation, and resilience.
I believe therapy should be a place where you can be honest without feeling judged. Many of the people I work with have spent years feeling misunderstood, overwhelmed, or like they are somehow “too much” or “not enough.” My goal is to create a space where you can slow down, understand what is happening beneath the surface, and develop tools that actually fit your life.
I especially enjoy working with clients who are navigating ADHD, trauma, anxiety, emotional regulation difficulties, and relationship or family stress. I also work with parents who are trying to better understand and support their children.
My goal is not to tell you who you should be. It is to help you understand yourself, heal from what you have experienced, and build a life that feels more manageable and authentic to you.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Oklahoma
Searching for therapists in Oklahoma starts with finding someone whose experience fits the care you want. Oklahoma has a wide range of therapists across urban and rural areas, so available options may vary by location. You may want support for anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions. As you compare Oklahoma therapists, look for specialties and approaches that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling.
Practical fit matters, too. If you live near Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Norman, or a more rural part of the state, consider whether in-person sessions or virtual appointments work better for your schedule and access needs. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how they describe their style, what concerns they work with, and what a first session may involve.
The cost of therapy in Oklahoma can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences and accept insurance, with estimated out-of-pocket costs shown before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans. You can browse therapists in Oklahoma, review profiles, and book directly when you find a fit.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
