About Shaquilla

Shaquilla Jones is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a decade of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, and trauma. She emphasizes a person-centered stance that honors each client's individuality and helps people move toward clearer values and healthier patterns.

Background and approach

Shaquilla writes that therapy can be useful both in crisis and during times of personal growth, offering guidance for intimacy-related struggles, self-esteem, career questions, and transitions. Her background includes work in community mental health and sports psychology, and she blends several evidence-informed methods to fit each person's needs.

Shaquilla draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy for relational concerns, and uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy strategies to support values-driven change. She brings cultural awareness and sensitivity to identity-related issues and aims to build an inclusive, affirming atmosphere for clients.

Based in North Carolina, Shaquilla uses a collaborative approach to tailor goals and techniques to what each person finds most helpful. Her practice centers on creating a validating, strengths-focused space where clients can process trauma, strengthen relationships, and pursue meaningful change over time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that meet you where you are

Shaquilla commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, teaching practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) techniques to explore and strengthen important relationship patterns and emotional connection, which can be helpful for intimacy-related struggles and communication problems.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Shaquilla partners with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, values, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies over time so treatment feels relevant and achievable rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online therapy with Shaquilla is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for varying schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions or busy periods, allowing clients to access therapeutic work in ways that fit day-to-day life while still receiving structured, evidence-informed support from a licensed professional.
