About Saquia
Saquia Mcneil is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with four years of experience. She works with people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, and concerns related to family and relationships. Saquia speaks English and uses a mix of practical talking and skills work to help clients manage overwhelming feelings.
She draws from several evidence-informed approaches to help people cope and make small changes that add up. Sessions focus on noticing feelings, identifying values, and practicing short exercises that fit into daily life. Discussions often look at communication problems, attachment issues, and patterns that keep painful feelings active.
Saquia also addresses issues like guilt and shame, forgiveness, impulsivity, and money-related stress. For those working through post-traumatic stress or pregnancy and childbirth concerns, she uses trauma-focused strategies alongside other methods to help process experiences. She helps people who struggle with social anxiety and phobia by breaking down social situations into manageable steps and practicing responses.
Her approach includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Saquia emphasizes clear, short-term goals and practical tools so clients can try things between sessions and notice results. She asks about cultural background and life context to make sessions relevant.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. The subscription for sessions can be canceled at any time and cost varies with location.
How her approaches translate to remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and decide what matters most to them. In session this often means learning simple exercises to accept sensations and take small steps toward valued actions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can find their own answers; sessions emphasize clear, nonjudgmental conversation and practical next steps. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how emotions shape relationships and internal patterns, helping clients name feelings and try different ways of responding.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Saquia treats approach selection as a collaborative process based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. She will discuss options and try methods together so the client can see what feels most useful and what they can practice between sessions.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into busy days and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins or to meet from a quieter setting at home or during a break. Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered and can pick times that fit your routine.
