About Shaniqua
Shaniqua Smith is a licensed clinical social worker who guides people through stressful or overwhelming times. She holds the Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential and brings five years of direct practice in hospitals, nonprofits, and independent practice in Georgia. Her work tends to be warm and straightforward.
She aims to help people feel heard and regain control of everyday life. Shaniqua focuses on common problems like stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and addictions.
Background and approach
She also supports people facing parenting challenges, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, ADHD, and HIV/AIDS related stress. Attachment issues, communication struggles, and control problems are frequent themes she helps clients address. Her style blends evidence-informed tools with a personal, collaborative tone.
Sessions often include practical skills from cognitive behavioral and dialectical approaches alongside emotion-focused and attachment-informed conversation. She listens for patterns that keep people stuck and helps build new ways of coping that fit daily life. People describe her sessions as energetic but grounded, with a sense of humor when appropriate.
Outside work she runs Hike & Heal, outdoor sessions that mix movement, mindfulness, and talk. That setting is another way she helps people reconnect with themselves and practice new skills. Shaniqua uses straightforward goals and regular check-ins so progress is clear.
She encourages small, sustainable changes rather than quick fixes. Her aim is to help people leave sessions with tools they can actually use between meetings.

Online support
How her approaches fit into online care
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people notice how early relationships shape current patterns. In sessions she will look at how those patterns show up in close relationships and practice new ways of relating that feel safer and more connected.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and priorities. The therapist follows the client's lead, offering empathy and reflection so clients can better understand their feelings and decide what matters most to them.
Finding the right approach is treated as a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they adjust methods over time so the work matches changing needs and progress.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their day. Video is useful for deeper conversation and skill practice, phone calls work well if camera use is difficult, live chat and text are helpful for brief check-ins or when a shorter connection is needed. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or travel schedules while keeping a consistent place to practice new skills.
