About Shaquilla
Shaquilla Jones is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She offers a calm, direct style and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. Shaquilla aims to create a respectful space where clients feel seen and heard as they work toward clearer goals.
She uses a person-centered stance, meeting each person where they are and adjusting methods to fit real life.
Background and approach
Shaquilla draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. These methods shape conversations about emotions, unhelpful thoughts, and meaningful actions. Shaquilla has ten years of clinical experience that includes community mental health and work related to sports psychology.
She brings that range into sessions through straightforward coping skills, emotion regulation strategies, and attention to how identities can affect daily stress. Her LCSW credential is listed for North Carolina practice. Common topics she addresses include trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, attachment and abandonment issues, career stress, ADHD, and relationship communication problems.
She also supports people navigating sexuality, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and recovery from sexual assault and abuse. Sessions emphasize what a person wants to change and small, sustainable steps toward that change. Shaquilla uses talk, skill practice, and collaborative planning so clients leave with clear next steps.
Her approach aims to balance safety with forward movement so people can build on progress over time.
Approach-driven care for online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small steps toward them despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It can be useful for people struggling with anxiety, depression, or life changes who want clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches specific strategies to reduce unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, mood symptoms, and stress management. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotions and how they shape important relationships, which can help with intimacy-related struggles and improving communication.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Shaquilla will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they choose techniques to try and adjust those methods as progress is made so care fits the person’s life and needs.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and working through emotional material. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people reflect in writing and fit therapy into a busy day without a scheduled call. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care while fitting sessions into work, school, or family schedules.
