    About Shariece

    Shariece Hastings is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Illinois. She brings 10 years of experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, parenting challenges, and other life changes. Her approach aims to be straightforward and respectful so people can take practical next steps.

    Hastings uses clear, active listening and a nonjudgmental stance in sessions. She blends Client-Centered Therapy with cognitive and solution-focused methods to help people set goals and try small changes. Motivational Interviewing is part of her work when people are thinking about change, especially around substance use.

    She has supported people in schools, communities, hospitals, and correctional settings. That background shaped a focus on crisis response, substance use concerns, and family-related stress. She also offers coaching-style support for practical problem solving and planning.

    Sessions emphasize collaboration and real-world skills. People can expect help clarifying what matters to them, trying behavior changes, and tracking progress over time. She encourages using mindfulness and acceptance strategies when strong emotions make choices harder.

    Hastings invites people to take the next step when they are ready. The process starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

  2. How these approaches guide online work

    Motivational Interviewing helps people sort out their mixed feelings about change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to draw out someone’s own reasons for change, which can be useful for substance use and habit shifts.

    Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed steps toward them. It teaches simple exercises to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

    Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s perspective and priorities. The therapist provides active listening and unconditional positive regard to help people feel heard and make choices that fit their goals.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, trying techniques and adjusting based on what helps most.

    If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking since they are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around school, work, or caregiving. It also allows for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight and makes it possible to use mindfulness exercises or homework tools between meetings.
