Therapist

You look like you have it together on the outside, but internally, things feel increasingly out of control. Drinking, marijuana, or gambling may have started as a way to cope, escape, or unwind, but now they're creating problems you can no longer ignore. You've probably tried to cut back, control it, or manage it on your own. Maybe it worked for a while, but the same patterns keep returning. I work with men who are tired of repeating the same cycle and are ready to make meaningful changes.

I specialize in addiction recovery, substance use disorders, and gambling-related concerns. As a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist (NC), Licensed Addiction Counselor (SC), and Substance Abuse Professional (SAP), I provide a practical, structured approach focused on long-term change. Therapy goes beyond simply talking about the problem. We work to understand what's driving the behavior, build healthier coping strategies, increase accountability, and create a clear path forward.

Many of the men I work with are successful, responsible people who know something needs to change but aren't sure how to get there. If you're ready to stop repeating the same patterns and start building a different future, I offer secure online counseling across North Carolina. The first session is simply a conversation about what's happening and where you want things to go next.

Sharon Locklear

Sharon Locklear

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I’m Sharon Elizabeth Locklear, LCSW, ACSW, and I bring more than 30 years of experience as a mental health practitioner. My career has included work in private practice, hospitals, the U.S. Army, and the VA, supporting individuals through grief, trauma, caregiving, chronic health concerns, relationship difficulties, major life transitions, and complex mental health challenges.

I understand how easy it can be to lose yourself while caring for others, managing responsibilities, or simply trying to survive difficult circumstances. I believe people have the capacity to heal, grow, and create lives that reflect who they truly are. My role is not to tell you who to become, but to help you recognize your strengths, understand what may be keeping you stuck, and move toward the life you want to create.

Christina Lopez

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who provides compassionate, trauma-informed therapy for adolescents and adults who are feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns they want to change.

Maybe you find yourself overthinking everything, struggling to trust others, feeling like you’re never good enough, or having difficulty setting boundaries. Maybe you’ve wondered why certain experiences from your past still affect you—or why you shut down, feel overwhelmed, or keep repeating patterns you want to change.

Sometimes, the experiences we’ve learned to minimize can still shape how we feel, think, and relate to others.

Therapy can be a space to understand the why behind your reactions, process what has happened, and develop a deeper sense of safety, self-trust, and connection.

Therapist

I've worked with every stage of life - teenagers figuring themselves out, working adults running on empty, older adults navigating major transitions - and I've learned that there's no one-size-fits-all when it comes to getting better. What you'll get from me is full attention, an honest approach, and a commitment to meeting you where you actually are. I spent years in inpatient care, and what kept pulling me back to outpatient work is this: I love watching people move forward. That's what I'm here for.

I bring over 20 years of experience in mental health, addiction counseling, public health, and higher education leadership into my work with clients. My approach is grounded in both clinical expertise and lived experience, which allows me to meet you not just as a professional—but as a whole person who understands complexity, transition, and healing on multiple levels.

Whether you are navigating anxiety, burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, or questions around identity and purpose, I create a space where you can show up fully and begin the process of realignment and healing.
