    About Shaniqua

    Shaniqua Smith is a licensed clinical social worker who founded Therapy All Day, LLC. She brings five years of practice in psychiatric hospitals, nonprofit settings, and private practice to her work. Clients can expect a warm, energetic presence and a therapist who notices the small details that matter.

    Her style blends practical skills with collaborative conversation. She uses Motivational Interviewing alongside cognitive and emotion-focused methods to help people make changes they actually want. Sessions often focus on slowing down, spotting patterns, and building everyday skills to manage stress, anxiety, and low mood.

    Shaniqua helps people facing grief, relationship strain, addictions, parenting stress, and life transitions. She also supports those working through trauma, attachment concerns, communication problems, and issues related to HIV/AIDS and pregnancy and childbirth. She aims to help people strengthen self-love and resilience while finding balance that lasts.

    Her background includes a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering, a Master of Social Work from the Whitney M. Young School of Social Work at Clark Atlanta University, and a degree from Spelman College. She draws on clinical experience in hospitals and community settings to shape practical, realistic plans for change.

    Outside of therapy, she leads Hike & Heal sessions that mix walking, mindfulness, and conversation. That outdoor work reflects her belief that movement and nature can support healing. Shaniqua describes therapy as a collaborative process that helps people write the next chapter of their lives.

  2. How therapeutic approaches guide online work

    Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people clarify their own goals and find personal reasons to change. It is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure how to begin different habits or behaviors.

    Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people identify repeating relationship dynamics and build safer, more trusting ways of connecting with others.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical tools to manage anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful thinking so daily life becomes more manageable.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative planning is revisited as progress is made and circumstances change.

    Details about session formats were not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help keep momentum between visits by making scheduling more consistent, while still leaving room to try outdoor Hike & Heal sessions if those are offered.
