About Shaniqua
Shaniqua Shelton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with eight years of practice experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and issues with motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. She also focuses on grief, anger, ADHD, and challenges related to abandonment, attachment, control, forgiveness, guilt and shame, self-love, and young adult issues.
In sessions she keeps language plain and direct. Conversations focus on identifying what is most pressing and practical steps to reduce distress. She listens for patterns that contribute to repeated problems and works with each person to try small changes that add up over time.
She adapts the pace and topics to what a client brings, and builds a plan that addresses both short-term coping and longer-term goals. That plan can include skill practice, talking through difficult memories, and strategies for improving relationships or day-to-day routines.
Shaniqua’s approach emphasizes real-world tools you can use between sessions. She explains options and helps people choose what feels doable. Her style aims to make emotional work clear and manageable rather than overwhelming.
People who reach out will complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session. The process is meant to get started without unnecessary steps and to connect someone with help suited to their needs.
BHow sessions work
Approaches you may use and how online sessions fit
Shaniqua works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and symptom relief. One common approach is skill-based work that teaches coping strategies for anxiety, stress, and mood challenges; these are concrete tools to use between sessions to reduce overwhelm. Another approach is trauma-informed conversation that helps people process difficult events and their impact on relationships and self-image; this involves paced storytelling, grounding skills, and building tolerable ways to revisit painful material.Choosing the best approach is collaborative. The therapist and client review current needs, goals, and how much time or energy the client has for work between sessions. Together they try options and adjust the plan as progress or new issues emerge.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow for check-ins during breaks. It can also make some sessions simpler to structure when a shorter phone call or a focused video visit suits the topic at hand.
