Shaquilla Jones

Shaquilla Jones is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, career questions, and relationship or intimacy struggles. She focuses on practical steps clients can use in daily life. Shaquilla aims to make therapy feel like a steady, understanding place to sort through challenges and build confidence.

She brings ten years of experience from community mental health and sports psychology settings. That background informs an approach that is person-centered and tailored to each client. Sessions often include goal-focused conversation, skill building, and support for identity-related concerns for people who identify as LGBTQ or BIPOC.

Shaquilla uses a mix of therapeutic approaches to meet different needs. She draws on methods that help with thought patterns, emotional regulation, and committed action toward goals. The focus is on clear strategies clients can try between sessions and on tracking what changes help.

Common concerns she addresses include stress, depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD, self-esteem, and life transitions such as pregnancy and childbirth. She also works with issues around communication, attachment, abandonment, and sexual assault and abuse. Career questions and young adult challenges are part of her practice as well.

Shaquilla works in North Carolina and conducts sessions in English. People interested in starting are asked to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How specific approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small, purposeful actions toward them. It helps people feeling stuck by teaching techniques to notice thoughts without getting pulled into them and to commit to steps that match what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful habits. It is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into concrete parts and practicing new responses.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on emotions and connection. It helps people understand their emotional responses, name feelings, and develop new ways to relate to themselves and others when relationships or intimacy are part of the concern.

Finding the right approach is treated as a team effort. Shaquilla will discuss which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences and try different strategies as needed. The plan is adjusted over time based on what the client notices is helpful.

Session format details should be confirmed before booking, since options were not specified in the biography. Many people find online therapy helps fit care into busy schedules, allows shorter check-ins during a work break, or avoids the need to travel to an office. Talk with the therapist during scheduling to find session timing and structure that match everyday life.
