Shaniqua Smith, LCSW, CSW

Shaniqua Smith, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Georgia. She founded Therapy All Day, LLC and brings five years of experience from psychiatric hospitals, nonprofit settings, and private practice. Her work centers on helping people manage anxiety, stress, depression, trauma and abuse, and life transitions in ways that fit daily life.

She uses a mix of practical approaches to help clients find relief and build new habits. Sessions focus on noticing patterns, strengthening coping skills, and building confidence to make lasting changes. Shaniqua aims for warm, straightforward sessions rather than clinical distance.

Her background includes a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering and a Master of Social Work from Clark Atlanta University’s Whitney M. Young School of Social Work. The combination of hospital, community, and private practice experience informs how she supports people facing complex challenges like addictions, grief, ADHD, HIV/AIDS, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and issues around self-esteem and identity.

Shaniqua often incorporates movement and nature into her work. She created Hike & Heal, an outdoor option that combines walking, mindfulness, and conversation for those who find the outdoors helpful. Outside of work she hikes Georgia trails to recharge and reflect.

Her approach is collaborative and grounded in evidence-based methods. Sessions are intended to be practical, focused on skills you can use between meetings, and guided by what each person says matters most to them.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early connections shape current relationships and feelings. In practice this means talking about patterns in relationships, noticing how you react to closeness or distance, and trying new ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and experience. The therapist listens closely, reflects what’s been said, and helps the person guide the pace and focus of sessions so work stays relevant to their life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It offers concrete exercises to test negative thoughts and to develop different habits that reduce anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as problems evolve and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week. It can reduce travel time and allow people to meet during breaks or from a place that is more convenient. Because the exact session formats are not specified here, confirm current options before booking to see what is offered. The focus is helping people access consistent, practical support that fits their everyday routine.
