Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Shaquila Glass uses evidence-informed approaches that can be adapted to online formats. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns - it is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and learn practical ways to accept difficult internal experiences while taking committed actions toward meaningful goals. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle attention to thoughts and sensations, which can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Shaquila collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she adjusts strategies over time based on what is most helpful.

Online therapy with Shaquila is offered by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited local options. These options make therapy more accessible and allow licensed professionals to deliver care in ways that suit each person's life.
