Professional statement

Shanakay Osbourne is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who offers online therapy through Wellqor to adolescents, teens, and adults across Georgia. Life has a way of handing us more than we feel ready for, and when that happens, having someone in your corner can make all the difference. That is the role Shanakay hopes to play.

She especially enjoys walking with people through anxiety, depression, stress, and big life transitions. These challenges can feel overwhelming and isolating, yet they are often where the most meaningful growth and healing happen. Her approach is collaborative, compassionate, and evidence-based, drawing on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to help clients build practical skills that create real, lasting change in everyday life.

Over the years, Shanakay has learned that everyone carries a unique story, and that beneath many struggles is a shared desire to feel understood, connected, and accepted. She believes meaningful change comes not from getting everything right, but from self-awareness, compassion, and small, steady steps forward. A simple belief guides her work: growth begins the moment you believe change is possible.

Shanakay sees clients through Wellqor, which provides online therapy across Georgia. To get started, prospective clients complete the Get Started form on the Wellqor website, and a member of the front office team reaches out with next steps and helps schedule a first session.


Message to clients

Hi, I'm Shanakay. Reaching out for support can feel like a big step, and wherever you are in your journey, I will meet you where you are. You do not need the right words or a clear plan before we begin. You only need to be willing to show up.

Much of my work is with people navigating anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. These challenges can feel overwhelming and isolating, but they are also where meaningful growth and healing tend to happen. Together we will build practical coping skills and the confidence to face life's ups and downs with more resilience.

I see therapy as a collaborative process and a space for growth, healing, and self-discovery. My promise is to provide a supportive, respectful environment where that work can happen, and I hold onto a simple belief that guides everything I do: growth begins the moment you believe change is possible. I look forward to meeting you.
