Sheila made me comfortable immediately. She listens to me attentively at each session and responds with kindness and suggestions and guidance that are practical. She readily seeks resources to help me and my family succeed. If something comes up in between sessions she is available by text. This is my first experience with counselling and so far I am pleased with how I am being cared for.
More about Sheila

- LPC
As a licensed therapist in South Carolina with two decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through life's complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients navigate challenges like depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and personal transformation.
I bring a compassionate, culturally-informed approach to therapy, particularly focused on supporting Black individuals seeking understanding and healing. My work emphasizes self-love, meaningful communication, overcoming isolation, and rediscovering life purpose. I understand the nuanced emotional journeys that shape our experiences and am committed to creating a supportive, affirming therapeutic space.
My therapeutic approach integrates evidence-based practices with deep empathy, helping clients work through social anxiety, shame, guilt, and personal growth. I believe in the power of forgiveness—both for oneself and others—as a pathway to emotional wellness. Together, we'll explore your unique strengths and develop strategies that honor your individual journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Shelia is kind and supportive and helpful to me .
I had a great experience with Sheila McGee. She was very understanding and really took the time to listen. I felt like she had experience with what I was going through, and she gave me thoughtful options that were truly in my best interest. I especially appreciated the way she asked me questions that helped me dig deeper into why I think the way I do—it really helped me get to the root of things. I left each session feeling supported and with more clarity.
Honestly has helped me out in a dark time more then anyone will talk with you like a best friend
