You may be holding a lot together on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of yourself inside. Maybe anxiety makes it hard to quiet your thoughts, depression leaves you feeling stuck, or you find yourself repeating patterns you want to change. You deserve a space where you can speak openly, feel understood, and work toward a life that feels more like your own.
I’m Sharthea Fitzhugh, a Licensed Professional Counselor. I help clients navigate anxiety, depression, stress, anger, loneliness, and life transitions while building self-esteem, healthier relationships, and confidence in their decisions. Together, we can explore how past experiences influence your present, strengthen boundaries, and practice expressing your needs.
My approach is warm, honest, collaborative, and culturally responsive. I combine Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness with person-centered, trauma-informed care. We’ll pair insight with practical skills you can use in everyday moments—when emotions run high, a conversation gets difficult, or self-doubt takes over.
You don’t need to have the right words or know exactly where to begin. We’ll start with what matters to you, recognize the strengths you already have, and work at your pace toward meaningful change.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
