About Shaniqua Smith

Shaniqua Smith is a licensed social worker and the founder of Therapy All Day who blends professional training with a warm, energetic style to support people through life transitions. A graduate of Spelman College and Clark Atlanta Universitys Whitney M. Young School of Social Work, she brings five years of clinical experience across psychiatric hospitals, nonprofit programs, and private practice settings. She holds LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) and CSW credentials and applies evidence-based approaches to meet each client where they are.

Clients encounter a therapist who pairs attentiveness and a sense of humor with practical skill - she remembers the small but meaningful details that shape a persons healing. Whether addressing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, addictions, parenting challenges, or questions of self-esteem and identity, she centers care on real-life tools that promote lasting change. Her work often focuses on attachment issues, communication and control patterns, self-love, and support through pregnancy, childbirth, and HIV and AIDS related concerns.

Shaniqua invites clients to slow down, identify patterns that keep them stuck, and strengthen coping strategies so they can move toward greater balance and confidence. She encourages collaborative, sincere work that honors each persons priorities and builds practical skills to carry beyond therapy sessions. Outside of clinical work she is a hiking enthusiast who created Hike & Heal - outdoor therapeutic sessions that combine mindfulness, movement, and conversation to restore perspective and resilience.

Grounded in evidence-based practice and a client-centered ethic, Shaniqua approaches therapy as a partnership that helps people write the next chapter of their lives with intention and self-trust.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Shaniqua Smith



Shaniqua commonly draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide her online work.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, creating space for clients to lead the work while the therapist reflects and supports their priorities. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching practical strategies to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Shaniqua works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time so care stays relevant and effective.
