Practitioner record · Checked 6 Nov 2026
Sharthea Fitzhugh has been in practice 3 years and is licensed in Michigan. Sharthea lists stress, Anxiety, anger management and self esteem among 10 subjects on the BetterHelp roster.
Everything below is either quoted from Sharthea's own BetterHelp listing, taken from public licensing records, or written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such. Nothing here is an availability promise, a review, or a rating.
01 · Who Sharthea works with
Sharthea lists 5 specialisms and 5 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Sharthea chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Sharthea's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
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.

03 · What happens next
Sharthea practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Sharthea's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Sharthea at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Sharthea is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Sharthea.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Practical details
05 · Provenance
Sharthea's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 6 Nov 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.
The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.
Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Sharthea. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
