Shaquilla Jones, LCSW

Shaquilla Jones is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She works with individuals seeking clearer direction, stronger self-esteem, and more satisfying intimate connections. Her approach is warm and straightforward, aimed at making therapy feel useful from the start.

She draws on ten years of experience across community mental health and sports psychology settings. That background informs practical strategies for coping with life changes, career pressure, ADHD, and the aftereffects of trauma and abuse. Shaquilla pays attention to how identity and culture shape each person’s story and goals.

In sessions she uses person-centered techniques and evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral strategies and emotion-focused work to help clients notice patterns and try new responses. She also works with clients around attachment, abandonment, communication, and commitment challenges. Conversations are meant to be clear, focused, and tailored to each person’s needs.

People who identify as LGBTQ may find her perspective relatable, and she aims to offer an affirming environment for sexual and gender diversity. She also helps those navigating pregnancy and childbirth concerns, sexual assault recovery, and young adult life transitions.

Shaquilla invites clients to set practical goals and practice new skills between sessions. She frames therapy as a collaborative process where steady steps lead to clearer choices and healthier relationships.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes where people want clearer priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. It often includes homework and practical skills to practice between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding emotions within close relationships and improving connection and communication in bonds that matter.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shaquilla will collaborate with clients to pick methods that fit their goals, concerns, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time, checking in so the plan stays useful and relevant.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce time spent traveling, and allow quick check-ins when needed. It also lets people access consistent care while juggling work, parenting, or school commitments. Licensed professionals can adjust how they work together so sessions feel focused and practical, whether the aim is coping skills, trauma processing, or improving relationship patterns.
