About Shaquila
Shaquila Glass is a licensed social worker practicing in Virginia. She holds LICSW and LCSW credentials and brings 12 years of experience to her work. She focuses on supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, relationship concerns, and life changes.
Her approach is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping people take practical steps toward feeling better. Shaquila aims to make sessions a place where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about without judgment.
Background and approach
She uses methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping. Sessions are collaborative and geared toward real-life goals such as reducing worry, managing difficult feelings, or improving self-care. Her background includes additional training related to maternal mental health and women’s issues.
She has worked with concerns tied to pregnancy and childbirth, postpartum depression, fertility issues, chronic pain and illness, and body image. This experience informs a sensitive, practical style when those topics come up. Shaquila leans on motivational interviewing and narrative therapy to help people clarify values and rewrite unhelpful stories about themselves.
She encourages small, achievable changes and checks in on what is working. The tone in sessions is encouraging, direct, and focused on useful steps. People who reach out can expect clear conversation about goals and options.
She supports exploration of life purpose, loneliness, and rebuilding after loss. Shaquila helps people move from stuck patterns toward manageable change.
How these approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Online sessions can focus on small, meaningful steps that fit a person’s daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. That work adapts well to video or phone sessions with homework between meetings. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and build calm; short guided exercises are easy to share in text or live chat.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. They check in regularly and adjust the plan if something is not helpful, so care stays collaborative and goal focused.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, ongoing reminders, or shorter reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy life demands.
