About Shironda
Shironda began her counseling career in 2005 and has been licensed in North Carolina since 2012. She has worked in a wide range of settings, including schools, hospitals, court systems, prisons, and an army base. That variety shapes her ability to talk with people from different walks of life.
Her approach draws on existential ideas alongside client-centered and solution-focused methods. In practice this means she listens first, helps people name what matters, and then partners on small, actionable steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used when exploring patterns that keep people stuck.
Shironda also uses motivational interviewing to help people clarify goals and stay motivated through change. She pays attention to trauma and works in ways that acknowledge painful histories without defining a person by them.
People often meet with her about intimacy issues, ADHD, blended family challenges, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, anger, communication problems, and forgiveness. She aims to create clear goals and a plan that fits each person's life and needs.
Approaches that guide online sessions
The work often begins with client-centered listening, which means the therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what she hears, and helps people identify what matters most. This approach is useful for building trust and for clarifying personal goals in relationship and family concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT tools can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and ADHD-related difficulties by breaking problems into manageable steps and practicing new skills.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck about change. It focuses on strengthening motivation and setting achievable goals through gentle, guided conversation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences, and can adjust the plan as progress is made.
