Background and approach

Additional areas of attention include attachment issues, communication problems, control issues, HIV/AIDS, pregnancy and childbirth, and building self-love. Shaniqua blends practical tools with a collaborative style. She uses approaches such as attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral methods, dialectical behavior skills, emotionally-focused strategies, and client-centered care.

In sessions she helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck and practices new ways of coping that fit their daily life. Clients can expect sessions that are straightforward and warm. She often mixes grounding and mindfulness strategies with skills practice and honest conversation.

Shaniqua is also the creator of Hike & Heal, an outdoor option that combines walking, mindfulness, and focused talk for people who benefit from movement and nature. Outside of work she hikes Georgia trails to recharge. She frames therapy as a joint effort to rewrite the next chapter of life and build tools people can carry forward.

Approaches that translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds and feelings. Online work with this approach often looks at communication patterns and safety in relationships, and helps people practice new ways of connecting.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own experiences and goals. The therapist follows the client's lead, offering empathy and reflection while helping people find their own answers to life challenges.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. In remote sessions it often includes skill practice, thought records, and simple experiments between meetings to test new ways of thinking.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, daily routines, and what feels most useful, then recommend a mix of methods and adjust as needs change. This is a collaborative process aimed at finding what fits each person's life and goals.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a focused check-in is needed. Live chat or messaging can support brief updates, mood tracking, or ongoing practice between sessions. These options offer flexibility to fit sessions around work, childcare, or other commitments.
