About Me Hi, I’m glad you’re here. I’ve been a counselor for over 13 years, and during that time I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside people at many different points in life. I’ve worked with teens and young adults navigating school, relationships, and identity, as well as older adults facing life changes, loss, and new transitions. My approach is down-to-earth and collaborative. I use a mix of solution-focused strategies and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), while also drawing from trauma-informed practices to help create a safe and supportive space. I believe small steps forward can create big changes, and I work with you to find practical tools you can use right away. I offer online sessions through live chat and messaging, so you can connect in the way that feels most comfortable and convenient for you. Whether you’re looking for supplemental support or a safe place to process, my goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and equipped for what’s ahead.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist and have an extensive background as a Pastoral Counselor with many years of experience working with all kinds of couples. Relationships are one of my fortes. It always takes courage and strength to work on one's relationship and those who choose to do so are my heroes. I have worked with couples who are anticipating becoming couples, couples who are considering divorce, couples just desiring to improve their relationship, with infidelity and infertility issues, with a range of personality issues, conflict resolution, grief/loss issues, family issues and a host of other relationship challenges. I am always on the side of what is best for the relationship. My work is couple focused with a emphasis on couple participation and work being done both inside and outside of the sessions. I seek to work with you to find the most effective, healthy and meaningful solutions to your concerns and to equip you with the ways to keep moving forward even when therapy is over. I have been fortunate to have couples return to me just to have a relationship "check up" from time to time. Some of the methods I use in my counseling include: Emotionally Focused Therapy, Psychotherapy, Split and Conjoint sessions, and Solution Focused Therapy. It is most important to use what is effective for your unique situation. There is always good hope for couple/relationship health and success if we work together. Relationships can win. I feel I bring together the best of both clinical and theological skills to effective and proven practice.

Welcome to Therapy All Day, LLC! I’m Mrs. Shaniqua Smith, LCSW — founder and therapist of Therapy All Day. I’m a proud graduate of Spelman College and Clark Atlanta University’s Whitney M. Young School of Social Work, where I received advanced training in evidence-based therapeutic approaches. With over five years of experience in psychiatric hospitals, nonprofit settings, and private practice, I’ve had the privilege of helping individuals from diverse backgrounds navigate life’s many transitions. I’m known for my humor, energy, and attentiveness — I remember the little things that matter to my clients and genuinely care about their well-being beyond our scheduled time. Whether you’re managing anxiety, rebuilding confidence, coping with burnout, or adjusting to major life changes, I bring both skill and heart to help you feel supported, understood, and empowered. Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to rewrite your story — one where you feel more balanced, fulfilled, and at peace? Many of my clients come to me feeling exhausted from giving so much to others, yet struggling to find rest or clarity for themselves. My role is to help you slow down, breathe, and create space for healing and growth. Together, we’ll uncover the patterns that keep you stuck, strengthen your coping tools, and build confidence to live in alignment with who you truly are. When I’m not in session, you can usually find me hiking Georgia’s beautiful trails — it’s where I reconnect, reflect, and find peace in nature. As a hiking enthusiast, I believe the outdoors has a unique power to heal and restore balance. That belief inspired me to create Hike & Heal, outdoor therapeutic sessions that blend mindfulness, movement, and meaningful conversation to support emotional well-being in a natural setting. I believe you are the author of your story — therapy simply helps you write the next chapter with intention and self-trust. My approach is rooted in sincerity, collaboration, and evidence-based practices that fit real life. You can expect sessions that feel warm, practical, and centered on helping you find balance that lasts beyond therapy. If you’re ready to explore your story, find your footing, and carry tools that last, I’m here to walk alongside you every step of the way. "Support for real life, all day every day, with tools you carry forever." Mrs. Shaniqua Smith, BScChe, MSW, LCSW!
