Rev. Leonard Shepherd
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)
About Rev.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor licensed in Oklahoma with over 10 years of experience providing psychotherapy, psychoeducation, counseling and life coaching. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, and ADHD, bipolar, and sexual and gender issues. I have also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, dignity, sensitivity, and compassion. I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines a family systems approach, choice theory, cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you in that next step.
I look forward to working with you!

- “It has been an incredible journey since my partner and I began therapy mid-year. We have learned a lot and gained different perspectives on approaching matters reasonably. We are grateful to Rev. Shepherd for being supportive, and we have chosen to continue with him as our therapist and to continue with therapy for as long as it takes. Having therapy was one of our best decisions so far, as our relationship is growing stronger and better, thanks to our therapist, BetterHelp, and the effort my partner and I put towards our relationship.”
