About Shariece
Shariece Hastings is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Illinois with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, parenting strain, trauma, grief, and ADHD. Her approach is down-to-earth and practical, aimed at helping people manage day-to-day challenges and regain a sense of control.
She draws on techniques from client-centered therapy to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, add skills for tolerating strong feelings and staying focused on valued goals. Poverty of jargon is intentional in her sessions. Conversations are direct and interactive, with clear steps you can try between meetings.
Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change, especially around drug and alcohol addiction and other addictive behaviors. Shariece has worked in schools, community programs, correctional settings, and hospitals, giving her experience with crisis situations and people in different life circumstances. She combines active listening with practical exercises to build coping skills and improve daily routines.
Sessions often focus on problem-solving, establishing routines, and breaking tasks into manageable parts - strategies that can be helpful for ADHD-related challenges. She emphasizes collaboration, setting realistic goals, and steady progress over time.
Practical approaches for online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take small steps toward what matters most. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing stress. Client-centered therapy relies on a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens deeply and the person guides the pace of work.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, daily challenges, and personal preferences. Together they will try strategies and adjust methods until the plan fits the client's needs and rhythms.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and teaching new skills. Phone calls need less bandwidth and work well for coaching or check-ins. Live chat and text messaging can be used for brief updates, quick problem-solving, or when typing is easier than speaking. These options help people fit therapy into work, school, or busy family schedules while keeping focus on practical change.
