NOW ACCEPTING AND SERVING CHILDREN!! Have you ever felt lost or lonely while in a familiar or crowed place? Life throws many surprises at us, and while we cannot predict the outcome of any situation, we can take control of how we respond to certain situations. I first developed a passion for therapy when I hit a roadblock in my own life and was struggling to move past it. I specialize in helping people identify and achieve their personal goals by coping with the issues that are causing them distress, anxiety, and discomfort.


Unfortunately, life doesn't always allow us to be the best version of ourselves. With my help, you'll learn about acceptance and how to exert your power of choice over whatever life may throw at you. I take great pride in the progress and success of my clients.


My job is to give you the tools and techniques to achieve a balanced and fulfilling lifestyle. After several sessions, you will become well-versed at handling issues whenever and wherever they arise. Let's work together to put your life back in focus. I look forward to working with you.

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.

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.
