Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Shaniqua Smith
Shaniqua integrates Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns, helping clients who struggle with connection, trust, or repeated relationship difficulties. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, creating a nonjudgmental space where the client's perspective guides sessions and self-directed growth is encouraged. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another key approach she employs to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to build practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Shaniqua works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they assess progress and adapt strategies so therapy stays relevant and effective.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with licensed professionals, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, continue care between in-person commitments, and access consistent support from a therapist trained in these approaches.
