About Shaniqua

Shaniqua Smith, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker based in Georgia. She founded Therapy All Day and brings five years of clinical experience from psychiatric hospitals, nonprofit settings, and independent practice. Her sessions are grounded in practical strategies and a warm, energetic presence that helps people feel heard.

She balances professional skills with a down-to-earth approach and remembers the small details that matter to clients. Her style blends evidence-based tools with collaborative care.

Background and approach

She uses approaches like attachment work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and emotion-focused methods to address stress, anxiety, depression, and related concerns. Sessions focus on uncovering patterns that keep people stuck and building skills to handle everyday challenges. Shaniqua also supports those facing grief, addiction, relationship strain, and life transitions.

She pays attention to communication and control issues and includes attention to self-love, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and HIV/AIDS when relevant. Her background includes advanced social work training and diverse clinical placements that shaped her practical, strengths-based practice. Outside of sessions she leads Hike & Heal walks that combine movement, mindfulness, and conversation for people who want an outdoor option.

Her work aims to help clients slow down, regain balance, and build tools that last beyond therapy. The overall focus is steady, personable support that fits into everyday life. Shaniqua presents herself as a partner in change, helping people rewrite the next chapter of their lives with intention and clearer coping skills.

Online approaches that fit real life

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships shape feelings and safety. It helps people notice patterns in close relationships and learn new ways to connect and feel understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and improve mood and daily functioning. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and express core emotions and then use that awareness to change how they respond in relationships and stressful moments.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will ask about goals, past experiences, and day-to-day needs to decide which methods fit best. Sessions can combine elements from different approaches so the work feels tailored and useful for each person.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people meet face to face from home, phone sessions remove the need for travel, and live chat or text-based messaging provides more frequent check-ins or brief support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, parenting, and other responsibilities while keeping therapy practical and focused on real-life change.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
