About Shaniqua

Shaniqua Smith, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker based in Georgia who brings five years of practice across hospitals, nonprofits, and personal care. She founded Therapy All Day to offer practical, down-to-earth support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and ADHD. Sessions are aimed at helping clients find balance and build lasting skills.

Shaniqua uses clear, approachable methods in-session and keeps things focused on everyday change. She listens for patterns that cause pain and helps clients try small, manageable shifts.

Background and approach

Many people come to her feeling exhausted from giving to others and unsure how to care for themselves; she helps them slow down and prioritize their needs. Her work draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive-behavioral tools, and emotion-focused strategies. That mix is used to address relationship and communication struggles, control issues, and self-esteem concerns.

She also supports people navigating pregnancy and childbirth, HIV/AIDS related stress, and questions around identity and self-love. Shaniqua favors practical skills - breathing and grounding, tracking thoughts and reactions, and planning small behavior changes. She also offers DBT-informed approaches for managing intense emotions and improving coping.

Sessions aim to leave people with clear tools they can use between meetings. Outside of sessions she runs Hike & Heal, outdoor meetings that combine movement, mindfulness, and conversation for people who find nature restorative. That outdoors work reflects a belief that healing often needs both reflection and action.

She keeps a warm, energetic style while staying focused on concrete progress.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Shaniqua draws from attachment-based approaches and cognitive-behavioral techniques to shape online work. Attachment-based methods look at how early patterns of connection affect current relationships and help people notice and change those interaction habits. Cognitive-behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, boost mood, and manage ADHD-related challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist and client will talk about goals, preferences, and daily life demands, then try techniques that fit those needs. That collaborative process allows adjustments over time so the work stays useful and realistic.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to give flexibility for different routines. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues, while phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or fit around busy days. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for quick check-ins, homework support, and when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it possible to keep momentum between sessions and fit therapy into a real-life schedule.
