I take a person-centered approach, meeting each client where they are with compassion and respect. My goal is to create a supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered.

I incorporate Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to help you move toward the future you want. Together, we identify your existing strengths and skills, building on what’s already working while exploring what can be done differently to support meaningful change.

This approach emphasizes your present circumstances and future goals, helping you create practical, forward-moving solutions rather than staying stuck in the past.

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.

Are you tired of being a prisoner to your own negative thoughts, trying everything to ease your sadness and frustration, but feel like you are going in circles? Maybe you've tried self-help books, talking to friends, staying busy, but to no avail. Have you gone through something recently or in the past, which was traumatic and painful, where you feel like keeping to yourself is safest, and doing whatever you can to not get hurt again? Maybe you feel unsure about the world, anxious, unmotivated, and don't know why.


Imagine what it would be like to wake up and not feel so anxious, and able to combat nagging, negative beliefs. Whether you have depression or anxiety, stemming from traumatic experiences or chronic illness, imagine being able to gain strength to gently put these experiences into perspective, and move on about your day.


Let me provide you with healing techniques and tools which I have utilized with many clients. Free yourself from the past and finally find "you" again. OR, let me help you find the new YOU. I offer free phone consultations, as having conversation over the phone with your clinician first, could put you at ease. Don't delay your peace, reach out now.

I got my MA in Dance/Movement Therapy and Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2009 and have since worked mostly in community mental health. I'm excited to move more fully into working with women in transitional spaces of life looking for support and validation about their desires and next steps. I also work with preschool age children in their homes or school to help behavioral and relationship issues.
