About Shirnel
Shirnel Alleyne-Grant is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also supports clients facing work pressures, self-esteem struggles, life changes, and questions about purpose. Her approach aims to make therapy practical and understandable for people feeling overwhelmed.
She has sixteen years of experience in mental health settings and care management, then opened a independent practice to offer more focused one-on-one care.
Background and approach
That background gives her familiarity with both hospital-based and community-oriented supports. She draws on a variety of methods to fit each person rather than using a single technique. In sessions she focuses on clear goals and everyday steps people can use between meetings.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps spot unhelpful thinking and change daily habits. Client-Centered Therapy creates space for people to set the pace and priorities of their work together. Shirnel also uses mindfulness practices to help lower reactivity and motivational interviewing to support change when someone feels stuck.
She pays attention to cultural factors and how prejudice or discrimination can shape stress and identity. Her style is warm and attentive, aiming to help people build coping skills and steadier relationships. She offers work through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging, and accepts international clients in English.
Costs vary with location and therapist availability, and sessions are provided via a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy places the client's priorities front and center. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, follows the client's lead, and adjusts pace and topics to what matters most. It helps people who want a supportive, nonjudgmental space to sort through feelings and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behavioral routines. Online CBT often includes short between-session exercises, thought logs, and practical experiments to try during the week, which is useful for anxiety, anger, and mood concerns.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to address ambivalence about change. Sessions use open questions and reflective listening to help people find their own reasons to move forward, which works well for career shifts, habit change, and major life decisions.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try approaches that fit those needs. Clients and therapist adjust the plan together based on what proves helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video is good for more in-depth sessions and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer flexibility for quick updates or when writing helps process thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
