About Shaniqua
Shaniqua Parrish-Bacon is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Her practice also addresses young adult issues such as navigating early career and relationship transitions.
Shaniqua focuses on clear conversation and practical steps. She helps people name what feels overwhelming and chooses small, manageable changes to try. Sessions are straightforward and goal-focused, with room to talk through emotions and recent events.
In sessions she pays attention to patterns in relationships and attachment, and she helps people practice clearer communication. That can look like trying new ways to say what you need, or working through how past hurt still affects present choices. She also supports people dealing with fertility concerns, infidelity, and the fallout of trauma.
Shaniqua uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address panic, post-traumatic stress, and depression symptoms. She will work with someone to find practical coping skills for day-to-day life and to reduce intense moments of anxiety or panic. Her approach includes helping clients set realistic goals and track small gains.
Clients can expect direct feedback and concrete strategies alongside reflective conversation. She speaks English and practices in Maryland. If you are weighing your next steps after college, starting a first job, or feeling behind, Shaniqua aims to help sort priorities and steady daily routines.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Evidence-based techniques often used to address anxiety and trauma include cognitive-behavioral strategies and exposure-based methods. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments, which can reduce worry and improve decision making. Exposure-based methods involve gradual, supported steps to face feared situations or memories so panic and avoidance decrease over time.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help you choose methods that fit your goals, life demands, and what feels workable. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is tracked.
