About Shaniqua
Shaniqua Parrish-Bacon is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Maryland with five years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She aims to make the first step toward change feel less overwhelming for anyone seeking more balance and wellbeing.
She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to talk about difficult feelings and events. Sessions are meant to be a place where thoughts can be shared and explored at the client’s pace. Shaniqua describes therapy as a collaborative process where small steps add up to meaningful change.
Her work often addresses attachment and communication problems that affect relationships. She also supports people facing life transitions such as fertility challenges, midlife questions, or workplace strain. Practical coping skills and clearer communication patterns are common goals in sessions.
Shaniqua has particular experience with panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and processing loss. She supports young adults and men and women dealing with identity, purpose, and forgiveness concerns. The approach is direct and supportive while staying focused on the client’s goals.
Therapy with her emphasizes building coping strategies and understanding patterns that keep problems stuck. She encourages clients to try small experiments between sessions and bring back what does or does not work. This helps guide treatment so it stays useful and relevant to everyday life.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Shaniqua uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach she uses helps people learn specific coping skills for anxiety and panic attacks, such as pacing breathing and testing small behavioral steps to reduce avoidance. This kind of work is aimed at reducing immediate symptoms and building confidence over time.Another strand of her work centers on relationships and attachment patterns. Sessions explore how early connection styles show up now and teach clearer communication and boundary skills to improve interactions at home and work. This approach helps people notice patterns and try new ways of relating that feel healthier.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. She assesses needs and goals with each person and adjusts methods as progress is made. Clients collaborate on which techniques to try and review what helps, so therapy stays aligned with real-life demands and personal values.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten check-in sessions, or avoid travel time. It can also allow someone to continue care during life transitions. Ask about the specific session formats available when you schedule so you can pick what fits your routine and goals.
