Shaquila Glass, LICSW, LCSW

Shaquila Glass is a licensed clinical social worker with 12 years of experience supporting people through stressful and painful life moments. She holds LICSW and LCSW credentials and practices in Virginia. She focuses on helping people facing anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and major life changes.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. Shaquila uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness-based tools to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new responses. Sessions include clear skills, short practices, and real-life steps to test between meetings.

Shaquila also addresses issues that often come with life transitions, such as body image concerns, chronic pain or illness, fertility challenges, feelings of isolation, and struggles around pregnancy and postpartum. She pays attention to how these problems affect daily routines and relationships, and she offers tactics to reduce overwhelm and build small, steady progress.

Her style is warm and down-to-earth. Shaquila aims to create a nonjudgmental space where clients can name feelings and make decisions that fit their values. She encourages collaboration and practical plans that match each person’s goals.

People who want a mix of structured skill building and compassionate listening often find her approach helpful. She combines evidence-informed methods with attention to individual life context to help clients move forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Shaquila commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and shifting behaviors through practical exercises, which can relieve anxiety and improve daily functioning. ACT helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small committed actions even when difficult feelings are present, useful for grief, life changes, and persistent stress.

She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy techniques to teach short attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and improve emotion regulation. These methods translate well to remote sessions because they include simple exercises that can be practiced between meetings and checked in on during sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will try techniques and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful.

Online therapy offers practical benefits like flexibility and easier scheduling. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill work and guided practices, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text can support brief check-ins or between-session coaching. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain regular contact while working toward goals.
