About Shaquilla
Shaquilla Jones is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She brings a calm, straightforward style and aims to make therapy approachable for people who feel overwhelmed or stuck. She uses a person-centered way of working, so sessions start with what the client wants to change.
Shaquilla listens and helps people set clear, achievable goals. She draws on practical skills from cognitive behavioral work and acceptance strategies to reduce anxious thoughts and improve day-to-day coping.
Background and approach
Over the past 10 years Shaquilla has worked in community mental health and sports psychology settings. That mix shaped her interest in helping people who face high pressure, life transitions, or identity concerns. She also supports people navigating trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, and challenges like low self-esteem or career stress.
Her approach blends emotional focus with skills training. That means she helps people name and process feelings while teaching tools to manage them in the moment. Shaquilla pays attention to attachment and communication patterns that affect relationships and decision-making.
Sessions are offered in English and take place online in formats such as video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. She practices in North Carolina as an LCSW and brings a respectful, affirming stance for people from diverse backgrounds who want a clear path forward.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Shaquilla often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify personal values, and take small actions that match what matters to them. ACT can help with anxiety, low mood, and life transitions by focusing on values-based steps rather than trying to eliminate every uncomfortable feeling.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift patterns of thinking and behavior that fuel stress and worry. CBT sessions often include practical exercises and simple homework to reduce anxious or negative thinking and build more effective coping habits.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Shaquilla works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, comfort level, and daily life. That collaborative process means plans can change as needs evolve and progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging support quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or ongoing reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life situations.
