Shironda Bryant, LCMHC

Shironda Bryant is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She brings more than 21 years of experience in counseling settings and aims to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, anger, ADHD, trauma and intimacy concerns. She offers a warm, interactive style that focuses on respect and sensitivity. Conversations are tailored to the person's needs rather than labeled expectations. That means sessions tend to be practical and person-focused, with room to talk about immediate problems and longer term goals. Shironda has counseled in many settings, including schools, hospitals, courts, prisons, and an army base. That variety informs how she adapts to different life situations and practical constraints people bring to therapy. Her approach draws from existential thinking as well as solution-focused and cognitive behavior methods. She uses these approaches to help clients clarify values, change patterns that cause distress, and identify small steps forward. People who are caring for others may find her experience relevant, particularly around caregiver stress and blended family dynamics. She also addresses adoption and foster care concerns, divorce and separation, and young adult issues. To begin, Shironda asks about goals and current struggles and then shapes a plan that fits each person's situation. Sessions are aimed at helping clients notice patterns, try new strategies, and track progress over time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist creates space for someone to describe their concerns and goals while following their pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings and uses practical exercises to test new ways of coping and behaving. Existential Therapy helps people clarify values and meaning when life feels uncertain or stuck, often guiding conversations about choices and responsibility.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Shironda will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as goals evolve and progress is made.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified in this profile. In general, online therapy can help fit sessions into busy lives by reducing travel, allowing scheduling during breaks, or enabling shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it easier to keep continuity of care when routines change. Licensed professionals aim to adapt exercises and conversations so they work well in remote sessions, with practical tools and homework that can be used between meetings.
