Shaniqua Smith, LCSW, CSW

Shaniqua Smith is the founder and lead therapist at Therapy All Day, LLC, offering five years of clinical experience across psychiatric hospitals, nonprofit programs, and private practice. A graduate of Spelman College and Clark Atlanta University’s Whitney M. Young School of Social Work, she holds the credentials LCSW and CSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Clinical Social Worker in plain terms - which reflect her professional training and licensure in Georgia.

Clients find her blend of warmth, focused attention, and lighthearted energy easy to connect with, and she is known for remembering the small details that matter in treatment. Shaniqua works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and communication challenges, addiction, grief, parenting issues, ADHD, and questions of self-esteem and self-love. She blends evidence-based practices with practical tools to help clients slow down, notice recurring patterns, and build stronger coping skills.

Shaniqua frames therapy as a collaborative process aimed at helping people rewrite the next chapter of their lives with greater balance and intention. Outside of sessions she leads Hike & Heal outdoor therapeutic experiences that combine mindfulness, movement, and conversation to support emotional growth in nature. Her work emphasizes sincerity, collaboration, and approaches that fit everyday life, so clients leave with skills they can use long after therapy ends.

Approach-Oriented Care and Online Therapy Options

Shaniqua commonly integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her work. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds can influence current feelings and behaviors - it can help with trust, intimacy, and communication struggles. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathic stance that helps clients explore their values and goals while feeling seen and accepted. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Shaniqua collaborates with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. She works with clients to evaluate what feels most useful and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care from home, between obligations, or while managing life transitions, and they allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent, goal-focused support across a range of concerns.
