She holds LICSW and LCSW credentials and practices in Virginia. Shaquila aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and straightforward for someone worried about taking the first step.

Her approach is conversational and practical. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps that can fit into everyday life. She encourages clients to name what matters most to them and to try tools that support those goals. This often includes working on self-kindness, coping with isolation, and addressing concerns related to body image, chronic illness, or fertility struggles.

Shaquila also brings focused experience with maternal mental health, postpartum depression, pregnancy and childbirth, and women's issues. She supports people facing transitions such as becoming a parent or managing health changes. The emphasis is on helping people find new routines and ways of relating to themselves and others.

Therapeutic methods used include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy alongside Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy. These approaches are applied in straightforward ways - practicing new behaviors, noticing thoughts without getting stuck in them, and reshaping the stories people tell about their lives.

Sessions are designed to be collaborative and nonjudgmental. Shaquila helps people set realistic goals and try practical strategies so progress feels achievable.

How these approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts or feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, life transitions, and deciding on next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying different behaviors to change how someone feels; it often helps with stress, anxiety, and mood changes. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices so someone can notice stress or pain without reacting automatically, which can ease chronic pain and emotional overwhelm.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist reviews goals and tries different exercises together to see what fits. This is a collaborative process where the client’s preferences and daily routines shape which approaches are used and how sessions are run.

Confirm the therapist's available session formats before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when schedules are tight. Others prefer longer sessions to practice skills and reflect. Discuss scheduling and format options during the intake so sessions can be arranged to match practical needs and therapeutic goals.
