About Sharkea
Sharkea Hicks is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina who draws on 12 years of clinical experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career challenges, and depression.
Background and approach
She centers work around each person's strengths and perspective, treating clients as the experts of their own stories while offering guidance and structure to move through difficult transitions. Her practice emphasizes practical tools and collaborative problem solving to address motivation, confidence, communication difficulties, workplace issues, and self-love.
Sharkea approaches change as a courageous process and seeks to empower clients to take the steps toward greater fulfillment and wellbeing. She is attentive to the needs of clients who are hearing impaired and adapts communication to improve access.
Sessions are available through a variety of online formats to suit different schedules and preferences. Sharkea aims to create a supportive environment where clients can explore goals, learn skills, and build resilience for coping with life changes.
CBT-Informed Care and Online Access
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to help identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, low mood, and stress; it emphasizes practical exercises and skill building to produce measurable changes in daily life. Sharkea integrates these CBT strategies into sessions to target issues like self-esteem, workplace stress, and coping with life changes.
Her approach is collaborative: she works with clients to determine which techniques and pacing feel most helpful for their goals, preferences, and circumstances. Together they try different strategies, review what is working, and adjust the plan as needed so therapy remains relevant and useful.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. This range of formats supports consistent engagement when in-person visits aren’t practical and allows clients to choose the medium that best fits their comfort and daily life.
