About Shariece
Shariece Hastings is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Illinois with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people who are juggling stress, anxiety, depression, substance use, and major life changes. Her work often addresses anger, parenting strain, relationship tension, grief, and coping with trauma or abuse.
She brings practical, down-to-earth support to sessions. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on steps that feel doable. She listens actively and keeps a nonjudgmental tone while helping people set clear, concrete goals.
Background and approach
Her background includes work in schools, community programs, correctional settings, and hospitals. That variety informs how she adjusts strategies to fit different day-to-day realities. She has experience with people facing co-occurring mental health and addiction concerns, including drug and alcohol addiction.
Shariece draws on client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to build awareness and values-driven action. Motivational Interviewing shapes how she supports readiness for change.
Sessions are collaborative and solution-focused. She aims to help people identify small, sustainable steps they can take between meetings. The focus is on practical coping tools, clearer thinking, and stronger routines that support long-term progress.

How her approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that fit their values. It can be useful for anger, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful reactions like explosive anger. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience, using active listening and unconditional positive regard to build trust and clarify goals.Finding the right blend of methods is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches feel most helpful, adjusting plans based on needs, goals, and what actually works in sessions. That way clients have a say in pacing and focus throughout treatment.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video allows face-to-face interaction, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to keep appointments around school, work, or childcare commitments.
