Saquia Mcneil, LPC

Saquia Mcneil is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, family-related concerns, and anger. Sessions focus on practical steps to reduce overwhelm and regain control over intense feelings.

She favors direct, skills-based work alongside space to talk through what’s driving strong emotions. That can mean learning short strategies to calm down in the moment, practicing new ways to speak up, or unpacking past events that keep causing pain. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with room for steady progress over weeks.

Saquia draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. She uses Client-Centered techniques to keep the conversation focused on the person in front of her. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas guide work on difficult relationship patterns and attachment issues.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing when someone wants to change habits but feels stuck. Solution-Focused Therapy helps when someone needs clear, immediate steps for a specific problem. These methods are mixed to match the client’s reason for coming and their pace of change.

Saquia’s background centers on practical emotional skills: managing impulsivity and anger, repairing communication, and addressing guilt or shame. She helps people confronted by midlife stress, pregnancy and childbirth transitions, money worries, and mood concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and follow the LPC standards of South Carolina.
