Shaquila Glass, LICSW, LCSW

Shaquila Glass is a licensed clinical social worker with 12 years of experience. She is licensed in the District of Columbia as a LICSW and in Arkansas as an LCSW, and practices from Virginia. Shaquila focuses on stress and anxiety and helps people facing relationship strain, grief, and major life changes.

Her style is warm and direct. She invites people to share what they are feeling and thinking without judgment. Sessions emphasize practical steps and steady support so clients can try small changes between meetings.

Shaquila draws on several approaches to tailor care to each person. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. Mindfulness practices are offered to build tolerance for strong feelings and improve focus. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and take actions toward them.

She has additional training in maternal mental health and women’s issues. Her work also addresses body image, chronic illness and pain, fertility concerns, isolation, life purpose, and postpartum depression. These topics are woven into therapy when they connect to a person’s stress or anxiety.

Shaquila aims to make the process collaborative. She listens for what matters to each person and helps build coping skills that match their daily life. The goal is steady progress toward clearer goals and more manageable days.

How ACT, CBT, and Mindfulness translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions where choices feel blocked.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, helps people spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. It often involves practical exercises and behavior experiments that can be tracked between appointments to reduce anxiety and build confidence.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches skills to pay attention to the present moment and reduce reactivity to strong emotions. Short practices and grounding techniques are commonly used to manage bursts of worry or overwhelming feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person’s goals and daily routines. That decision is revisited as needs change, and techniques are adapted to what helps most.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. Therapists can assign short exercises to practice between meetings so work continues in everyday life.
