About Shaquilla

Shaquilla Jones is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people navigate major life changes, stress, anxiety, and relationship concerns. She aims to create a calm, straightforward space where clients can talk through what matters most. Shaquilla talks in plain terms and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

With ten years of experience, Shaquilla draws on work in community mental health and sports psychology. She uses therapy methods that focus on values, present-moment choices, and clearer thinking to help clients move forward. She commonly supports people facing trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem struggles, career stress, and challenges related to sexuality and identity.

Her approach centers on the person in front of her. Sessions often combine listening, skill-building, and real-world practice so people leave with usable tools. Shaquilla emphasizes understanding how attachment, abandonment, and communication patterns shape current struggles.

She respects how identity and life stage affect healing and aims to make clients feel seen and validated. She works with those wrestling with pregnancy and childbirth changes, post-traumatic stress, and sexual assault and abuse concerns. Shaquilla also supports young adults and people managing ADHD and depression.

Shaquilla is based in North Carolina and offers therapy in English. Her goal is to help people trade stuck patterns for clearer choices and steadier days. To begin, she asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How therapy approaches guide online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, meaningful steps toward them. It helps when life changes feel overwhelming and someone wants to build a life that matches their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotions and improving emotional connection; it is often used when relationship and intimacy concerns are an issue.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shaquilla treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help decide which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. She blends approaches when that suits the situation and checks in to make sure the plan feels useful.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy schedules, allowing shorter check-ins or sessions during a work break. Others choose video when they prefer face-to-face interaction or phone when bandwidth is limited. Talk with the therapist when you schedule to match timing and format to your daily life.
