Shironda Bryant, LCMHC

Shironda Monique Bryant is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She began her counseling career in New Jersey and has provided counseling in various forms since 2005, becoming licensed and practicing in North Carolina in 2012. Her experience spans multiple environments - including prisons, court systems, schools, hospitals, and an army base - which has informed a flexible approach to working with diverse needs.

Shironda has supported people facing depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, anger, and ADHD. Her style is warm and interactive, grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she intentionally avoids stigmatizing labels. Shironda describes her orientation as existential, drawing on other treatment modalities to address each person as an individual rather than a diagnosis.

She focuses on tailoring conversations and treatment plans to meet unique goals and circumstances, adapting methods to fit what will be most useful for each client. As a licensed counselor, Shironda combines professional training with practical experience to help clients identify priorities, build coping strategies, and work toward meaningful change. She looks forward to partnering with individuals and families to create achievable goals and progress toward them.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Shironda frequently draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered techniques in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger to build practical coping skills. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathetic relationship in which the client leads the pace and topics of discussion - it helps people explore values, strengthen self-esteem, and address relationship or identity concerns.

She also integrates existential ideas that invite clients to explore meaning, choice, and personal responsibility when facing life transitions or deeper questions about purpose. Deciding on the right approach is a collaborative process - Shironda works with each person to assess needs, clarify goals, and select or adapt methods that fit the client’s preferences and circumstances.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and access. These formats allow clients and licensed professionals to maintain continuity of care, make therapy more convenient around busy lives, and select the communication style that feels most comfortable for them.
