About Shariece
Shariece Hastings is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Illinois with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, parenting strain, mood concerns, and major life changes. She uses straightforward, goal-oriented work so people can start feeling steadier and more capable.
Hastings draws on hands-on experience from community and clinical settings. She has helped people dealing with substance use and co-occurring conditions and has provided crisis support in schools, hospitals, and other agencies.
How Shariece works
That background informs how she structures sessions and sets priorities with each person. Her approach is warm and interactive. Sessions emphasize active listening, plain language, and respect for the person’s pace.
She mixes techniques from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to match the needs someone brings. In practical terms she helps people set small, manageable goals. That can mean building coping skills for anxiety, creating plans around substance use, improving parenting routines, or finding ways to handle grief and anger.
She also offers coaching-style support for life transitions and organization. People who want clear steps, steady encouragement, and a collaborative plan tend to do well with her style. Conversations are candid but nonjudgmental, focused on what someone can do next.
If someone prefers direct feedback and tools to practice between sessions, Hastings offers that kind of structure.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and take small steps toward what matters despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and adjusting to life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and practicing different behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. It often includes homework and simple skill practice between sessions. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to build motivation for change, especially helpful when someone is weighing steps around substance use or other habits.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to a person’s goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on how well they fit. That collaborative process helps find methods that feel useful and realistic for daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video works well for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging can serve for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving routines.
