About Shaniqua

Shaniqua Smith, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker based in Georgia who brings five years of experience across hospitals, nonprofits, and private practice. She founded Therapy All Day, LLC and blends practical care with personal warmth. Her sessions aim to help people manage anxiety, stress, depression, and addictions while building confidence and stronger coping skills.

Clients can expect an attentive, energetic clinician who remembers the small but important details. She uses straightforward conversation, humor when appropriate, and a calm presence to help people slow down and make clearer choices. She emphasizes collaboration and partnership in the work.

In session she helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck and develop concrete tools to change them. That can mean learning new ways to handle emotions, improving communication, or strengthening self-care habits. She also supports people facing grief, trauma, parenting challenges, ADHD-related struggles, and identity concerns.

Shaniqua combines several therapeutic approaches to match each person’s needs, including attachment-focused work, client-centered methods, cognitive-behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior skills, and emotionally focused strategies. She frames these methods in everyday language and applies them to real-life problems.

Outside of therapy she leads Hike & Heal sessions that pair movement and reflection for people who find nature restorative. Her style is practical and grounded: tools clients can use between sessions to make lasting change.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice how they connect, what feels safe, and how to develop more secure ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own experience and pace; the therapist listens deeply and follows what the client brings to the session, helping them find their own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. This is a shared decision based on what feels most useful and practical for day-to-day life.

Confirm session formats before booking because the profile does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, offer shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also allows continuity of care when schedules or locations change. If outdoor Hike & Heal sessions interest you, ask about those alongside any remote options when you schedule.
