Shareece Cannonier
Psychologist, PsyD
Are you feeling overwhelmed and emotional on the inside? You work hard to create the life you want, but you feel like it might fall apart at any moment. Do others view you as the strong friend or family member who saves the day, but there is rarely anyone who consistently shows up for you? You wonder if you’re a people pleaser, too hard on yourself, and why others don’t respect your boundaries. Is there past trauma that could be affecting your current relationships that you need to process? Unmanaged anxiety, depression, or unhealed trauma can leave you feeling dissatisfied with life.

Kelli Hall
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW

Libby Shaw
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, ATR-BC, LPAT, ACS
Online therapy allows people to select a therapist based on their specialty, and the ability to meet their unique needs, and not simply their location. Being licensed in both New Jersey and Pennsylvania, I am able to work with people in both of those states hoping to address specifically anxiety/stress, trauma, parenting, and relationship stress.

Carey Luker
Licensed Professional Counselor, LMHC, LPC
Hi, I’m Carey Luker, a licensed therapist in South Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Florida. I work with adults of all ages, and I especially enjoy supporting college students, young adults, and people going through career or life transitions.
Starting therapy can feel uncomfortable or even a little scary, especially if you’re used to pushing through things on your own. My goal is to make therapy feel like a safe, relaxed space where you can talk openly, feel understood, and not worry about being judged. You don’t need to have the “right words” or everything figured out before starting.
For over 13 years, I’ve helped people work through anxiety, ADHD, stress from school or work, burnout, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, boundary setting, and those moments in life where you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of what comes next. Sometimes people come to therapy because everything feels too heavy, and sometimes they just want to understand themselves better and feel more balanced again.
My approach is supportive, practical, and tailored to you. I use tools from CBT, DBT, mindfulness, trauma-informed care, IFS, and neurodivergent-affirming approaches, but more importantly, I focus on creating a real connection where you feel comfortable being yourself.
I believe growth looks different for everyone. Therapy isn’t about having all the answers or getting everything “right.” It’s about having support while you learn, heal, grow, and navigate life a little more gently. You deserve a space where you can slow down, feel heard, and work toward becoming the version of yourself you want to be.

8 Years Experience
Online in Pittsburgh, PA (Online Only)
Pittsburgh's post-steel identity brings civic pride alongside the lingering mental health effects of industrial decline, with therapists frequently addressing grief, economic anxiety, and intergenerational family dynamics rooted in its working-class heritage. The city's medical landscape is anchored by UPMC — one of the largest health systems in the country — and the University of Pittsburgh, both of which maintain extensive mental health training programs and community clinics. Pittsburgh has a growing creative and tech economy attracting young professionals, creating demand for therapists who work with identity, career transitions, and the particular stress of building a life in a city undergoing reinvention. Shadyside, Squirrel Hill, and the South Hills are among the neighborhoods with the strongest concentrations of private practices.
