How Shaniqua works

Sessions aim to build stronger coping skills and clearer communication. Shaniqua pays close attention to attachment and control issues that often underlie relationship and self-esteem struggles. Clients often come with burnout, grief, addiction concerns, or questions about parenting and HIV-related care.

She also supports people navigating pregnancy and childbirth, ADHD challenges, and growing self-love. Her style balances direct feedback with empathy so people can try new ways of coping between sessions. Shaniqua also offers outdoor Hike & Heal sessions that combine movement, mindfulness, and conversation for people who prefer being active while they process emotions.

Those sessions are designed to help people reconnect to themselves and to the present moment. She trained at Spelman College and Clark Atlanta University’s Whitney M. Young School of Social Work and holds the LCSW and CSW credentials.

In sessions she focuses on practical tools you can use right away, and on building lasting change step by step.

Online support options

How her approach translates to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection patterns show up in relationships now. Online sessions can help people notice those patterns and practice new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises. It works well for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching tools to use between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and shift core emotions that drive relationship and self-worth struggles. That work can deepen emotional understanding and improve how people respond to themselves and others.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to use attachment-focused work, CBT exercises, emotion-focused tasks, or a blend tailored to the need.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit busy schedules. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflections between sessions. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and daily life.
