About Shariece
Shariece Hastings is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois with ten years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, parenting strain, anger, relationship and family issues, trauma and grief, self-esteem questions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other life changes. Sessions are offered in English.
Hastings draws on practical, problem-focused methods in sessions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, client-centered techniques, and solution-focused ideas when they fit the work.
Her style is interactive and direct. Conversations include active listening and straightforward feedback. Clients can expect to outline specific goals, try small behavior changes, and track what does or does not work between meetings.
Her background includes work across schools, community settings, correctional facilities, and hospitals. That range informs how she approaches crises and co-occurring concerns involving mental health and substance use. She has experience as a children and family services advocate and as a substance abuse counselor.
Practical tools, short exercises, and coaching-style check-ins are part of the sessions when appropriate. The focus is on clear steps a person can try and then review together. To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Shariece uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT sessions often include exercises to try between meetings and practical strategies for daily situations. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help people notice difficult feelings, clarify personal values, and take committed actions aligned with those values. Client-Centered Therapy provides straightforward listening and reflection so the person can shape goals and explore what matters most to them.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will discuss options and work with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative planning includes deciding which methods to emphasize and setting concrete steps to try between sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm the current online session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, school, or caregiving - for example shorter check-ins during a break, or sessions that avoid travel time. It also lets people use visual or written exercises during a meeting and review homework together. Discuss practical needs during the initial scheduling step to determine what will work best.
