About Shaquilla
Shaquilla Jones is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and life changes. She offers a calm, down-to-earth presence and aims to make therapy a practical space for change.
Background and approach
Shaquilla listens carefully and helps people find steps they can try between sessions. Her approach is person-centered and goal-oriented.
She blends methods from acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy to match each person's needs. Shaquilla also uses elements of the Gottman Method when relationship skills are part of the work.
She draws on ten years of experience across community mental health and sports psychology settings. That background gives her familiarity with performance pressure, career stress, and concerns common to young adults and professionals.
Shaquilla names identity and lived experience as important pieces of how she understands a person's story. In sessions she focuses on practical tools for managing emotions, improving communication, and building self-compassion.
She supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, intimacy and attachment concerns, and pregnancy or postpartum stress. Shaquilla also addresses sexuality, LGBT concerns, and issues tied to racial identity.
People who choose her can expect straightforward language and a collaborative tone. She frames therapy as a process of small, steady steps toward clearer goals.
Shaquilla aims to help each person feel more grounded and able to face daily challenges.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Shaquilla often draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice painful thoughts and make values-based choices. ACT focuses on what matters most and teaches skills to act despite difficult feelings. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice practical behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and day-to-day coping skills.She brings a person-centered stance to sessions, which means the work is collaborative and shaped by the client's goals. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress unfolds. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work, and the therapist offers options rather than a single fixed program.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video calls let people use visual cues for relational work and longer sessions. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or people who prefer written communication. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
