About Shaniqua
Shaniqua Smith is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia with five years of experience. She has worked in psychiatric hospitals, nonprofit settings, and private practice helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, and related concerns such as depression and grief.
Shaniqua uses a mix of evidence-based methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment-based and client-centered approaches. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits, trying new responses, and strengthening everyday coping skills. She also draws on skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relevant.
Her style balances practical skills and direct conversation. She helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck and builds concrete tools to change those patterns. For parents she addresses parenting stress and changes tied to childbirth and pregnancy, and she supports clients facing addiction, ADHD, HIV/AIDS, and issues around self-love and control.
Shaniqua founded Therapy All Day, LLC and developed an outdoor offering called Hike & Heal that combines movement, mindfulness, and conversation. Outside of work she hikes Georgia trails to reflect and recharge.
Those who choose her can expect structured sessions that aim to break down problems into manageable steps. She works collaboratively to set goals, practice skills between meetings, and track small changes over time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Shaniqua often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and test different responses. CBT breaks problems into steps and gives concrete exercises to try between sessions, which can fit well with remote work that includes brief homework and check-ins.She also uses attachment-based techniques to look at relationship patterns and how early connections affect current responses. That work focuses on understanding emotional needs and practicing new ways of relating. Client-centered therapy informs her stance in sessions by emphasizing the client's priorities and pacing the work around what matters most to the client.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She will work with each person to decide which combination of methods suits their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative step that includes reviewing goals, trying techniques, and adjusting as needed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and support using written exercises or audio-guided practices between meetings. Those practical arrangements are discussed and agreed on at the start of care.
