About Shaquilla
Shaquilla Jones is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 10 years of experience. She works with issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and ADHD. Shaquilla supports people navigating life changes, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem struggles, and career questions.
Her work blends straightforward, skills-based methods with attention to personal values and identity. Shaquilla often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), client-centered techniques, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to guide sessions when those approaches fit the problem.
Shaquilla has experience in community mental health and sports psychology. She has worked with young adults, student-athletes, and professionals, and with people who identify as LGBTQIA+. She describes herself as a Black queer woman and brings that perspective into sessions for clients who want that context acknowledged.
Sessions focus on concrete tools and short-term skill building alongside deeper work on attachment, abandonment, and communication patterns. Common topics include commitment issues, intimacy-related concerns, post-traumatic stress, pregnancy and childbirth adjustments, and sexual assault and abuse recovery.
People can expect practical steps between sessions, such as thought records, behavioral experiments, and communication exercises. Shaquilla uses a person-centered stance to set goals together and to decide which method or mix of methods will be most useful.
How CBT, ACT and Client-Centered Work Online
Shaquilla uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify and change thought and behavior patterns. CBT sessions focus on practical exercises, tracking thoughts, and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values and accept difficult feelings while taking steps toward meaningful goals. ACT can help with life transitions, identity questions, and motivation problems. Client-centered methods emphasize listening and collaboration. This approach supports clients who want a paced, respectful process for working through attachment, communication, and intimacy issues. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods that match the client’s needs and preferences. Techniques may be combined and adjusted over time based on what is helping. Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a workday, reduce travel, or allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited. If video or phone sessions are available, clients can choose what works best for them and the therapist will adapt exercises accordingly.Areas of expertise
