Getting to know Shantel Robinson
I support adults in North Carolina and New Jersey through virtual therapy focused on grief, loss, and major life transitions, as I experienced these challenges not only professionally, but personally. My style is warm, steady, and rooted in compassion.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 15 years of experience, I provide compassionate and culturally responsive care for adults working through grief, trauma, and the emotional weight that life transitions can bring. My goal is to offer a grounding space where you can speak freely, feel supported, and begin making sense of what you’re carrying.
My approach blends empathy with evidence-based strategies, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and grief-informed practices. In our sessions, we focus on coping tools that help you manage strong emotions, reduce overwhelm, and create small moments of relief during difficult seasons. I tailor each session to your needs, your pace, and what feels most supportive for your healing.
I am especially passionate about supporting Black women, Black men, Veterans, and adults of color who often hold invisible emotional burdens or face unique challenges around grief, identity, and resilience. I hold these experiences with cultural humility and deep respect for your story.
Healing isn’t about “moving on.” It’s about learning to hold your experiences with more balance, clarity, and hope. Whether you’re grieving someone you love, trying to navigate an unexpected transition, or feeling emotionally weighed down, I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion and support.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
