Dr. Shanice Stephenson-Walcott

Dr. Shanice Stephenson-Walcott

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


Hi, I’m Dr. Shanice Stephenson-Walcott! I’m a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, Qualified Supervisor, and Counselor Educator who believes therapy should be a space where you can feel heard, supported, and comfortable being yourself.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, life transitions, and other experiences that can make life feel overwhelming. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices while recognizing that therapy is never one-size-fits-all.

For clients who desire it, I also offer faith-integrated counseling that creates space for Christian faith and biblical principles to be meaningfully incorporated into the therapeutic process.

De'Lisa Hill

De'Lisa Hill

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


"Welcome to my virtual couch—where breath steadies, the heart softens, and the journey unfolds, I am De'Lisa Hill, let’s walk it together.” Here, your story is met with compassion, curiosity, and clinical wisdom. Together, we’ll revive what’s been withered, rebuild what’s been worn down, reveal what’s been hidden beneath the surface, and move toward restoration with intention.

For more than 18 years, I have walked with adolescents (16-20), adults (21-90), couples, and leaders through seasons of transition, healing, and rebuilding. My approach blends clinical precision with deep compassion. Clients describe my presence as grounding, clarifying, and restorative — a space where they can exhale, be fully seen, and begin again without shame or pressure.

I help you untangle the internal knots created by stress, trauma, relational ruptures, identity confusion, and life transitions. Whether you’re navigating emotional overwhelm, burnout, marital/couples' strain, spiritual fatigue, or the quiet ache of feeling “stuck,” my role is to help you reconnect with your clarity, your agency, and your capacity to thrive.
