Shaquilla Jones , LCSW

Shaquilla Jones is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping women navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. She brings ten years of experience and a calm, direct style to sessions. People who want practical tools alongside emotional support often find her approach helpful.

She uses clear, person-centered work that centers each person's goals and values. Sessions often include skills for managing strong emotions, steps to change unhelpful thinking, and ways to strengthen important relationships. Shaquilla draws from therapies like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to match techniques to what each person needs.

Her background includes community mental health and work with athletes, which shaped how she blends structure and empathy. She aims to make therapy a place for healing and growth, not just crisis care. Shaquilla emphasizes respect for identity and life experience, and she pays attention to issues that often affect women, including pregnancy and childbirth concerns, intimacy, and self-love.

Sessions may address specific concerns such as abandonment, attachment wounds, communication and commitment problems, sexual assault and abuse, and career stress. She also supports people processing ADHD, post-traumatic stress, and changes around pregnancy and childbirth. The practical focus is on skills you can use between sessions.

Shaquilla communicates plainly and works collaboratively on goals. She helps people map small steps forward and build routines that fit real life. Many clients come for short-term work on a problem, while others use therapy for ongoing personal growth.

How her approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions toward those values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry and procrastination. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotions in relationships and improving how people connect and respond to each other.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shaquilla will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest one or more methods to try. She adapts techniques over time, checking in about what helps and what needs to change so the plan fits real life.

Online therapy offers flexibility without a commute. Video calls let people meet face to face for deeper conversations, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when a camera feels like too much. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for short check-ins, skill practice, or scheduling quick support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and try different formats to see what works best.
