Shaniqua Smith , LCSW, CSW

Shaniqua Smith is a licensed clinical social worker with five years of experience helping people navigate major life transitions and everyday stressors. She founded Therapy All Day, LLC after completing social work training at Spelman College and the Whitney M. Young School of Social Work at Clark Atlanta University, and has provided care across psychiatric hospitals, nonprofit settings, and private practice. She holds LCSW and CSW credentials, reflecting advanced clinical training and experience as a social work professional.

Known for a blend of warmth, attentive listening, and a sense of humor, she focuses on practical, evidence-informed approaches that fit real life. Her clinical interests include stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and communication difficulties, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, self-esteem and self-love, as well as ADHD and coping with life changes. She also brings additional focus to attachment issues, control concerns, HIV/AIDS, and pregnancy and childbirth topics.

In session she aims to help clients slow down, identify unhelpful patterns, strengthen coping skills, and build confidence to live more in alignment with their values. She blends collaboration with structured therapeutic tools so work in therapy translates into lasting change outside sessions. Outside of clinical work she leads Hike & Heal outdoor sessions that combine mindfulness, movement, and conversation to support emotional well-being in natural settings.

Her approach is described as practical, sincere, and person-centered, emphasizing partnership and skills that clients can carry forward after therapy.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Shaniqua Smith integrates approaches that prioritize relationships, personal strengths, and practical skills. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationships shape patterns of connection and coping, helping clients address attachment issues and improve relationship dynamics. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration, allowing clients to lead the pace of change while the therapist offers support and reflection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured techniques, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Shaniqua partners with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts methods in collaboration with the client to find the best fit for their situation.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how care is delivered - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access support from home or other convenient locations. These options can increase consistency in care and allow for timely, ongoing work between in-person moments and day-to-day life.
