About Shariece
Shariece Hastings is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Illinois with a decade of experience supporting people through a range of life challenges.
Background and approach
Her background includes work in schools, community programs, correctional settings, and hospitals, and she has provided services related to mental health, substance concerns, parenting struggles, and co-occurring issues. She identifies drug and alcohol addiction among her additional areas of focus and brings practical experience from roles as a Children and Family Services Advocate and Substance Abuse Counselor.
Her therapeutic manner is warm, interactive, and nonjudgmental, centered on active listening and unconditional positive regard. She combines client-centered principles with evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness techniques, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies to help clients set and pursue meaningful goals.
Hastings frames therapy as a collaborative process aimed at helping people gain skills to manage stress, mood symptoms, addictive behaviors, relationship and family challenges, grief, and life transitions.
Prospective clients are encouraged to take the first step through the platform’s matching and scheduling process; sessions are offered through a variety of online formats to suit different preferences and needs.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Shariece uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of responding, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday stressors. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support people in clarifying values, accepting uncomfortable thoughts or feelings, and taking committed action toward meaningful life goals. Client-centered methods are woven into sessions to ensure empathy, active listening, and a collaborative stance as clients explore change.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. She works together with each person to tailor strategies based on their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods over time as progress and priorities evolve.
Online therapy with her is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care when life is busy or circumstances make in-person meetings difficult, and they allow people to engage in therapy from wherever they are located within Illinois.
