About Sharthea
Sharthea Fitzhugh is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults struggling with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Many people come to her feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure which direction to take next.
Sharthea focuses on helping clients notice how past experiences shape present reactions. She uses practical skills to manage intense emotions and to improve communication. Sessions include practicing ways to set boundaries and express needs more clearly.
Her stated approach blends cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior techniques, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness with person-centered, trauma-informed care. That means sessions mix short exercises, thought patterns work, and moment-to-moment coping tools. Clients can expect both discussion and hands-on practice they can use between meetings.
Sharthea emphasizes collaboration and cultural responsiveness in her work. She aims to help people build confidence in decision-making and strengthen relationships without rushing the process. Progress is framed as small, practical steps rather than a single solution.
For someone feeling stuck after a job change, relationship shift, or health event, she offers a chance to talk through what matters now. The first meetings usually clarify main concerns and identify simple, doable strategies to try. If you want to move toward clearer choices or steadier reactions, she can help map that out with you.
Therapeutic techniques and how they work online
Sharthea uses cognitive behavioral approaches that look at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. These techniques help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice small changes that can reduce anxiety or depression symptoms in daily life.She also draws on dialectical behavior ideas that focus on emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Those tools give specific steps to handle intense feelings, manage anger, and respond more effectively in difficult conversations.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to figure out which techniques match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying different tools over several sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.
