About Shaquila
Shaquila Glass is a licensed clinical social worker with 12 years of experience. She holds a District of Columbia LICSW and an Arkansas LCSW and practices in Virginia. Shaquila works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, and big life changes.
She focuses on practical steps clients can use between sessions to feel steadier day to day. Shaquila draws on several evidence-informed approaches to shape sessions around each person’s needs.
Background and approach
She uses mindfulness to help slow racing thoughts and calm the body. She applies cognitive behavioral ideas to spot thought patterns that increase worry and to test new, more helpful behaviors. She also uses narrative work to help people reframe difficult life chapters and motivational interviewing to support goals and lasting change.
Sessions are conversational and goal oriented. Shaquila aims to build an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about feelings and try new strategies. She explains tools in plain language and practices them together in session so clients can try them outside appointments.
Shaquila has additional experience with women’s mental health issues, maternal mental health, postpartum depression, body image, fertility concerns, chronic illness and pain, and the challenges of isolation and life purpose. She encourages small, manageable steps and helps people track progress over time. People who choose Shaquila often want a direct, compassionate therapist who offers structure and practical homework.
Her work emphasizes collaboration, steady pacing, and building skills that make everyday life more manageable.
How these approaches are used in online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice uncomfortable thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that align with what matters most. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce worry and improve mood. It is practical for anxiety and relationship strain. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and calm the nervous system, which can help with stress and overwhelming emotions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Shaquila treats approach selection as a collaborative process and will help clients decide which methods match their goals and daily life. She often blends techniques and adjusts plans as progress is made so therapy stays relevant and useful.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for people juggling busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller discussion is needed. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when someone needs ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, childcare, or medical schedules while keeping treatment consistent and goal oriented.
