About Shaniqua
Shaniqua Shelton is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in New York with eight years of professional experience. She helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed by life changes. She also supports those dealing with grief, anger, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, and concerns around self-esteem and ADHD.
Her approach is straightforward and respectful. Conversations are tailored to each person's needs and priorities. She aims to create an atmosphere of sensitivity and steady support during difficult moments.
How Shaniqua works
Sessions focus on practical steps and real outcomes. Shaniqua works with clients to set small, achievable goals and to build coping skills that fit everyday life. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns, control issues, and patterns that can block self-love and forgiveness.
She often helps people untangle feelings of guilt and shame and to rebuild a sense of confidence. Young adult issues receive particular attention when they affect daily functioning and relationships. The work is collaborative - the client and therapist shape the plan together.
Shaniqua offers both short-term help for a pressing problem and longer-term support for deeper change. She will adapt conversations and interventions so they match where a client is right now, and what they want to achieve next.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online work and practical care
Shaniqua uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and real-world changes. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches coping strategies for stress, anxiety, and ADHD so clients can manage symptoms during daily life. Another common focus is trauma-informed care which helps people process past hurt and reduce the ways trauma shows up in relationships and emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will ask about your goals, experiences, and preferences and then recommend methods that fit your situation. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as progress unfolds.
Online therapy gives flexibility that can make regular sessions easier to keep. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for shorter check-ins, between-session support, or when a written format helps process thoughts. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while still working toward meaningful change.
