Hi there, I’m Sharifa! My name is Sharifa Sekai McKain and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Chesapeake, Virginia, and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adults of all ages and specialize in anxiety, stress, depression, and couples/marital counseling, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help my clients make progress toward their overall wellness goals. My style and approach are a good fit for adults who may be dealing with the challenges of life transitions and social pressures.
I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, family conflicts, motivation, self-esteem, anger, confidence, and depression. You are the expert of your story and you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client I work with.
As a Social Worker, I have worked in many settings including community mental health, public schools, mental health psychiatric hospitals for children and adults, military, and hospital settings. Being an advocate, a helper, and a non-judgmental source of support are just a few of the things that attracted me to a career as a therapist.
