About Shironda

Shironda Bryant is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina who focuses on helping people manage everyday struggles. She talks plainly with clients about stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and ADHD. Her style is warm and interactive and she aims to treat people with respect and compassion.

She began counseling work in 2005 and has been practicing in North Carolina since 2012 after starting her career in New Jersey.

Background and approach

Over two decades she has worked in many settings, including schools, hospitals, court systems, prisons, and an army base. That variety shaped a practical approach to common life problems. In sessions she uses a mix of methods rather than a single formula.

She draws on client-centered listening to focus on each person’s experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Shironda also incorporates existential perspectives to help people clarify what matters most to them and find meaning when life feels unsettled.

Solution-focused and motivational techniques are used to set small, realistic goals that build confidence and momentum. Her work often addresses complex family and parenting issues, adoption-related concerns, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and communication or commitment challenges. She avoids stigmatizing labels and collaborates with clients to craft a plan that fits their needs and pace.

Therapeutic approaches and what online sessions look like

Client-centered therapy places your experience at the center of the conversation. The therapist listens without judgment and follows your lead to understand what matters most to you and where change would help. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that get in the way and practicing concrete strategies to shift them. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and some ADHD-related challenges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about goals, preferences, and how you respond to different ideas. Together you can try options, adjust the plan, and focus on techniques that feel helpful for your situation.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules. Video calls are good for a face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions work when video isn’t possible or bandwidth is low. Live chat and messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins, quick goal-setting, or when typing helps you express yourself. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into work, school, or family routines.
