About Shironda
Shironda Bryant is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 21 years of counseling experience. She has been licensed in North Carolina since 2012 and has provided counseling in a variety of settings since 2005. Shironda works with concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship and family issues, anger, ADHD, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting, self-esteem, and stress. She also focuses on topics like adoption and foster care, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and young adult issues.
Shironda draws on several methods to shape conversations that make sense for each person. She uses an existential outlook alongside client-centered work and cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people name what matters to them. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies also appear in sessions when useful, especially for goal-setting and practical change.
Her experience includes work in prisons, court systems, schools, hospitals, and an army base, so she has seen many different situations and pressures. In sessions she aims for direct, interactive conversation that focuses on specific struggles and next steps. People often come with practical problems like communication breakdowns, parenting strain, or feeling stuck after a big life change.
Shironda avoids labels in favor of clear talking and planning. She will listen for the problem you want solved and help map small, achievable steps. If you are a young adult feeling behind, unsure about relationships or career direction, or dealing with family stress, she lists young adult issues among her focus areas and can address those concerns as part of her work.
To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so the two of you can decide on next steps together.
How Shironda’s approaches translate to online work
Shironda blends client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening and building a clear, respectful conversation about what matters to the client. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thought and behavior patterns and uses practical exercises to change how someone responds to stress or anxiety.She also uses solution-focused strategies to identify small, immediate steps that move a person toward their goals. These approaches suit problems like relationship conflict, anxiety, low mood, and the practical pressures many young adults face. Deciding which mix of methods to use is collaborative - the therapist will help you choose approaches that fit your goals and preferences during the first meetings.

Licensed professionals can adapt tools from CBT and solution-focused work to make online meetings productive and practical without promising a particular outcome.
