About
YaShica Maxwell, LCSW, LICSW, brings seven years of clinical experience supporting adults who feel overwhelmed by change, relationships, and competing responsibilities. She works with people navigating anxiety, codependency, communication difficulties, divorce and separation, family concerns, workplace stress, and questions about life purpose. Her practice also addresses issues such as trauma-related concerns, panic, social anxiety, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and challenges faced by veterans and young adults.
Her therapeutic stance is warm, collaborative, culturally responsive, and practical. YaShica integrates evidence-based approaches while centering each person s lived experience, values, and cultural context. She focuses on identifying patterns that no longer serve a client, strengthening coping strategies, improving communication, and supporting steps toward greater self-love and a clearer sense of direction.
YaShica aims to make therapy a place to exhale, reflect, and grow. She maintains a life outside the office that includes travel, family time, concerts, museums, and time near the beach. The profile indicates she currently has openings for adult clients in Illinois, Minnesota, and Rhode Island.

Remote sessions by video, phone, chat, and messaging
YaShica offers a remote practice that uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to connect with clients. Her online approach emphasizes collaboration: she and the client set goals together, move at a pace that feels supportive, and tailor each session to immediate concerns such as overwhelm, transitions, relationship patterns, or workplace strain.She describes her work as warm, culturally responsive, and practical, integrating evidence-based methods while honoring each person s story and values. That blend can suit clients who value structured support alongside attention to culture, identity, and the realities of everyday life. Those looking for help with communication problems, codependency, post-traumatic stress, or life purpose may find the collaborative format a clear fit.
Different communication formats can serve different needs: video sessions allow fuller face-to-face conversation, phone work can be more flexible, and live chat or text-based messaging can provide brief check-ins or continued support between sessions. Clients and YaShica decide together which modes best match their goals and schedule.
