Shaquila Glass

Shaquila Glass is a licensed social worker with 12 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, and life changes. She holds a LICSW (Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker) in the District of Columbia and an LCSW (Licensed Certified Social Worker) in Arkansas, and practices in Virginia. Shaquila emphasizes straightforward support and steady guidance for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.

She uses clear, practical methods in sessions. Shaquila helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to change behaviors. She draws on mindfulness to reduce moment-to-moment reactivity and on narrative work to make sense of life events. Motivational interviewing is part of how she helps people find reasons to change.

Shaquila has additional focus in maternal mental health, women's issues, postpartum depression, pregnancy and childbirth, and fertility concerns. She also supports people facing chronic illness or pain, body image struggles, loneliness, and questions about life purpose. Her approach is person-centered and collaborative rather than prescriptive.

In the therapy room she aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be named and examined. Sessions tend to be practical and paced to match each person's needs. Shaquila works with clients to set small, realistic goals and to track progress over time.

She encourages people to see therapy as a process that unfolds step by step. For those considering change, she offers steady support and tools to cope and move forward.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and choose values-based actions. It offers tools for accepting difficult feelings while continuing to act toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve coping. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to lower reactivity and calm the mind.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shaquila will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean mixing ACT, CBT, and mindfulness techniques over several sessions as needs evolve.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It also gives people the option to work from a quieter location and to choose how they engage with exercises between sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to an online setting and help clients practice skills in everyday situations.
