About Shirnel
Shirnel Alleyne-Grant is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 16 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem struggles, career questions, and life changes. She also addresses depression, anger, and family-related strains.
She began her career in mental health hospitals supporting children and young adults who had experienced severe trauma. Later she worked as a care manager for managed care companies. She then opened a private practice called My Caring Counseling to continue offering clinical support.
Her approach is practical and person-centered. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits, and she combines that with solution-focused ideas to set small, achievable steps. Motivational interviewing is used when people need help finding reasons to change or stick with their plans.
Mindfulness and existential ideas appear in her sessions to help people find meaning and manage difficult emotions in the moment. She also draws on supportive techniques and movement-based activities when those fit a client's goals.
Shirnel pays attention to cultural context and has completed Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion training. She supports issues related to caregiving stress, communication problems, fertility and intimacy concerns, infidelity, workplace challenges, midlife questions, multicultural issues, and feelings of isolation.
Sessions are conducted in English, and she accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and are handled through a cancellable subscription model. To begin, clients use the online matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Shirnel blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered methods in practical ways. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, low mood, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so people can clarify their goals and make choices that fit their life. She also brings elements of Existential Therapy, which helps people consider meaning, values, and major life decisions. That approach can be useful for people facing midlife questions, career changes, or struggles with life purpose. Choosing an approach is collaborative. She will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist check in about goals and change methods when needed. The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a shorter appointment is helpful. It also lets people use mindfulness exercises and CBT homework between meetings to build new habits into daily life.Areas of expertise
