About Shaquila

Shaquila Glass is a licensed social worker with 12 years of clinical experience practicing in Virginia and the District of Columbia.

Background and approach

As a LICSW and LCSW she draws on a range of evidence-informed approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness-based practices, to help people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, and major life changes.

Her background includes additional training in maternal mental health and women's issues, and she has supported clients facing challenges such as fertility concerns, postpartum depression, chronic illness and pain, and shifts in life purpose. She emphasizes building a collaborative therapeutic relationship where clients can explore thoughts and feelings without judgment.

Sessions focus on practical skills, values-driven goals, and narrative work to make sense of difficult experiences while developing new patterns of coping. Shaquila aims to empower clients to take concrete steps toward greater well-being and resilience, while tailoring methods to each person’s needs and preferences.

Outside of technique, she highlights the courage it takes to begin therapy and offers steady support through the process of change and recovery.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a skills-based approach that helps identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, often used for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy combines acceptance and mindfulness strategies with values-driven action, supporting clients in tolerating difficult emotions while moving toward meaningful goals. Mindfulness Therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and self-compassion, which can reduce reactivity and support emotion regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each person to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and will adjust techniques as progress and needs evolve. This collaborative stance helps tailor interventions to what feels most helpful for the individual.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in these methods through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access consistent support from licensed professionals without geographic constraints.
