About Samiyra
Samiyra Shabazz-Dixon is an LCSW licensed in Kentucky with six years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. She also addresses related concerns such as abandonment, attachment struggles, caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues, and feelings of guilt and shame.
She helps people talk through what is happening now and how past experiences may still affect them. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that keep difficult feelings alive and on practical steps to try between meetings. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide this work and keeps explanations straightforward and concrete.
Samiyra aims to create an open environment where clients can share thoughts and feelings without judgment. She encourages honest conversation about painful topics like forgiveness, money-related stress, or isolation. The goal is to map what’s happening and to test small changes that may reduce emotional load.
She has experience supporting people through post-traumatic stress, coping with impulsivity, and finding direction around life purpose and self-love. Practical skills for managing mood and anxiety are woven into sessions alongside talk about relationships and attachment. Clients are invited to move at a pace that feels manageable.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire and an initial scheduling step are used. The subscription-based session structure is noted as cancellable at any time, and clients are encouraged to confirm current session options before they book.
How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Samiyra works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear steps and measurable change. One common approach she uses involves helping clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and testing alternative ways of thinking and behaving; this helps with anxiety, low mood, and guilt-related thinking. Another approach emphasizes understanding attachment and relationship patterns to reduce conflict and isolation and to improve communication and closeness.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. She will discuss options with each person, consider needs and goals, and adjust methods as work progresses. Clients and the therapist decide together what to try and how to measure whether it feels useful.
Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Talk therapy by remote means can still cover practical skill work, review between-session exercises, and focused conversations about relationships, shame, or trauma while working around everyday schedules.
