About Sharie
Sharie Scott is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with three years of post-licensure experience. She lists stress, anxiety, parenting, anger, self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, ADHD, and related areas among her focus. She also notes work around compassion fatigue, life changes, career, and coaching.
Before becoming an LPC, she served in the U.S. Navy for 22 years and spent a decade in community counseling settings. That background brought repeated contact with addiction, trauma, depression and other serious life challenges. Her biography highlights this long-term practical experience rather than academic credentials alone.
In sessions she relies on cognitive behavioral ideas and solution-focused methods while drawing on other approaches as needed. That means many meetings include looking at thought patterns, trying small behavior changes, and setting short-term, practical goals. She aims to work collaboratively with each person on workable steps.
Clients can expect straightforward conversations about what is causing strain at home and what can change next. She uses direct problem-solving alongside attention to present feelings. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing also appear among the techniques she uses when helpful.
Her training history includes multiple degrees in education and human services and a background in military behavioral health. Sessions are offered in English and she notes that international clients are accepted. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Client-centered ideas and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) are two approaches she uses. Client-centered work focuses on listening and following what matters to the person, helping them name priorities and pick steps forward. CBT looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and supports practical changes to reduce anxiety, anger, or low mood.Solution-focused therapy and motivational interviewing also appear in her practice. Solution-focused work concentrates on small, short-term goals and what already works. Motivational interviewing helps a person resolve mixed feelings and find the motivation to try new behaviors. Together these approaches suit people who want direct problem solving and clear next steps alongside attention to feelings.
Choosing the right mix is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to match approaches to their needs, goals, and preferences rather than assuming one method fits all. That means initial sessions often review goals and try a few techniques to see what helps most.
The biography does not specify which online formats are used, so confirm available session types before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Those practical benefits can help people keep momentum while addressing parenting stress, relationship strain, grief, or anxiety.
