Shirnel Alleyne-Grant is a licensed professional counselor in Georgia with 16 years of clinical experience. Her early work took place in mental health hospitals supporting children and young adults who had experienced severe trauma. She later moved into a care manager role with managed care companies and ultimately founded My Caring Counseling, a private practice created to offer a supportive, creative environment where clients can feel heard and begin the work of healing.
Her areas of focus include stress and anxiety, depression, relationship issues and intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem, career difficulties, coping with life changes and major transitions, midlife challenges, family conflicts, anger management, and couples therapy. She works with young adults, older adults, and couples.
Shirnel practices from a person-centered perspective and adapts her approach to each client’s needs. She blends solution-focused techniques, cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, supportive therapy, and movement therapy to address cognitive, emotional, and physical aspects of well-being. Her style is warm, empathetic, and attentive, and she listens closely to help clients find the path that works best for them.
She holds state licensure as a professional counselor in Georgia—a credential that reflects meeting the state’s standards for clinical practice (GA LPC LPC004757). As a clinician from a diverse cultural background, she has completed Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion training and is committed to providing inclusive, respectful care. She believes in the capacity for self-healing and is ready to walk alongside clients as they pursue meaningful change.
Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist online can really help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility - clients can connect in the way that works best for them, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This makes it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy schedule and to access care from different locations.
Therapists offering online services are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch to a different therapist at any time if they want a different fit. For many people, online therapy provides an accessible, adaptable way to address everyday mental health and relationship concerns while keeping continuity of care.
