Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Shaquilla draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to inform her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client’s lead and supports self-directed growth. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, and everyday stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes values-guided action and learning to live with difficult internal experiences rather than fighting them, which can be helpful for anxiety, avoidance, and life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Shaquilla collaborates with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques from these models to meet clients where they are and to support meaningful change in ways that feel manageable and relevant.
Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access consistent care around work, school, or family obligations. Working with licensed professionals through these modalities can increase flexibility, reduce travel time, and allow therapy to fit into varied schedules while maintaining regular therapeutic contact and support.
