Sharie Scott , LPC

Sharie Scott is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), credentials that reflect formal training in mental health counseling and specialized skills for working with trauma. She served in the U.S. Navy for 22 years, where she supported service members facing addictions, depression, trauma, and other significant life challenges. That military background, along with years of work in community counseling, shaped a practical, compassion-driven approach to care.

Sharie’s clinical orientation centers on cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and solution-focused therapy, methods that emphasize identifying patterns of thinking and developing concrete steps toward meaningful change. She uses these approaches flexibly, integrating other techniques as needed to meet each person where they are. Her practice emphasizes collaboration, helping clients set realistic goals and build skills to manage stress, anxiety, grief, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem issues, compassion fatigue, career transitions, trauma and abuse, and other life adjustments.

Sharie also holds multiple academic degrees including a Bachelor of Science in Occupational Education from Wayland Baptist University, a Master of Arts in Special Education from Phoenix University, a Master of Arts in Human Services Counseling with a marriage and family emphasis from Liberty University, and an Educational Specialist degree in Teaching and Learning from Liberty University. She aims to create a nonjudgmental, supportive space where people can heal, grow, and pursue their highest potential.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care

Sharie draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and develop practical skills for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. Solution-focused therapy is used to target immediate, achievable changes by building on a person's existing strengths and focusing on concrete goals rather than lengthy exploration of problems. She also incorporates client-centered principles, emphasizing an empathic, nonjudgmental stance that supports each person’s autonomy and personal values.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharie collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts strategies over time so therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility for people with busy schedules or geographic constraints. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can engage in regular sessions, practice new skills between meetings, and maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, or mobility needs. Licensed professionals can provide effective therapeutic support through these remote formats, making it easier to start and sustain progress.
