About Shirnel
Her background includes work in mental health hospitals and care management for managed care companies, followed by founding a private practice called My Caring Counseling. That range of experience informs how she meets clients where they are and adapts support to each situation.
In sessions she uses a person-centered approach, focusing on what matters most to the individual. She also integrates cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking, and motivational interviewing to build momentum toward goals. Mindfulness and existential ideas are available for clients who want to explore meaning, values, and presence.
Her style is warm and attentive, with an emphasis on practical steps and honest conversation. She helps people talk through relationship conflicts, caregiver stress, workplace issues, fertility and intimacy concerns, and feelings of isolation. Cultural awareness and respect are part of her work.
Shirnel works with adults navigating life transitions, midlife challenges, and questions about life purpose. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and a subscription can be canceled at any time.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person's own goals and priorities. The therapist listens closely and helps guide conversations so the client decides what to work on and when to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms. These methods are useful for stress, worry, and changing patterns that cause trouble.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shirnel will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That means trying things out together, checking what helps, and adjusting plans as progress is made.
