About Saquia
Saquia works with people who are dealing with relationship tension and communication problems. She also supports those coping with guilt, shame, and issues around attachment. She aims to help clients build more self-love and healthier ways to respond when emotions run high.
Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult feelings without being driven by them. Client-centered work keeps the client's priorities central, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps pinpoint what emotions are behind relationship struggles.
Saquia brings four years of clinical experience in South Carolina to her practice. She focuses on meeting each person where they are and tailoring sessions to individual goals. Her goal is to help people develop clearer communication, more effective coping, and a greater sense of control over anger and distress.
People who want straightforward tools and compassionate listening may find her approach useful. She encourages practical steps you can use between sessions while also exploring the deeper patterns that keep problems repeating.

Approaches used in online sessions and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice uncomfortable thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anger, anxiety, and mood problems by shifting how someone responds rather than trying to eliminate emotion. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client sets the pace and topics of work; it is useful when someone needs understanding and space to sort through feelings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at the emotions beneath relationship conflict and helps people name and shift the emotional patterns that keep problems repeating.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions may mix elements from different approaches to match what is most helpful in the moment.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing the time spent traveling to appointments. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins when life is hectic or to schedule sessions around work or childcare. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available and can pick what fits your routine.
