About Shariece
Shariece Hastings is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Illinois with ten years of experience. She focuses on practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, parenting strains, anger, depression, and life changes. She uses straightforward talking, coaching, and skill-building to help clients make real changes.
Across her career she has supported people in schools, community settings, correctional facilities, and hospitals. That experience includes work with substance use concerns and people managing co-occurring mental health needs.
Background and approach
She also brings a background as a Children and Family Services Advocate and substance abuse counselor, which informs how she approaches parenting and addiction issues. Her style is warm and interactive. Sessions emphasize active listening and unconditional positive regard.
She aims to create a nonjudgmental space where clients can name priorities and try small experiments between sessions. Therapy combines client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral tools and solution-focused steps. Mindfulness and acceptance-based ideas are woven in when they fit the person’s goals.
Motivational interviewing is used to support change for substance use and other behaviors. Shariece helps people set clear, manageable goals and build practical coping skills. She describes her role as a guide and coach who helps clients move toward their own solutions.
If a parent is feeling overwhelmed, or someone needs help with addiction, mood, or stress, she focuses on doable steps that fit daily life.

Approaches that fit parenting and addiction work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. It helps people who want to act differently for their family or health, even when anxiety or cravings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing mood or stress that affects daily life. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s own goals and perspectives, offering active listening and unconditional positive regard to help clarify what matters most.Choosing the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what’s been tried before. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let visual connection for deeper conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quick check-ins, and text messaging can keep work going between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around caregiving, work, or treatment schedules while still working on parenting, addiction, stress, and mood.
