Samiyra Shabazz-Dixon

Samiyra Shabazz-Dixon is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Kentucky. She brings six years of professional experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression.

She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space for people to talk through difficult feelings. Sessions often focus on practical steps and clearer communication so clients can try new ways of handling daily stressors. She encourages honesty and small experiments between meetings to test what helps.

Samiyra has worked with individuals who struggle with abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, and the fallout from divorce and separation. She also supports people facing guilt, shame, impulsivity, isolation, and questions about life purpose and money concerns.

Her approach centers on listening first, then shaping a plan that fits each person’s goals. She pays attention to patterns in relationships and mood, and helps clients build skills for stronger boundaries and self-compassion.

People who contact her fill out a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability. The process is straightforward and meant to make that first step easier for someone who is unsure about reaching out.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on identifying unhelpful patterns and teaching concrete skills to change them. For example, approaches that target thought and behavior patterns help people notice automatic reactions and try different responses, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Other techniques focus on relationships and attachment, helping people explore patterns in close relationships and practice new communication habits to feel more connected.

Choosing the right approach is something the therapist will do together with each client. She listens to goals and concerns, then suggests ways to work that fit the person’s needs and preferences. That collaborative process makes it easier to adapt methods over time if something isn’t working.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats directly before booking. Many people find online options helpful because they can fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and make it easier to schedule short check-ins during breaks. Talk with the therapist about how you prefer to meet and what will work best for your routine.
