Samiyra Shabazz-Dixon, LCSW

Samiyra Shabazz-Dixon is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Kentucky. She has six years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, or low mood. She welcomes straightforward conversations and practical steps toward feeling more stable and in control.

Samiyra focuses on building an open space where clients can talk without judgment. She listens for the patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people notice what they can change. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs, whether that means working on communication, addressing past hurts, or rebuilding confidence.

Many people come with a mix of concerns such as abandonment worries, attachment struggles, caregiver stress, or problems with impulsivity and guilt. She also supports people dealing with financial stress, life purpose questions, and loneliness. Samiyra uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations and plan steps forward.

Her approach is practical and calm. She helps clients set realistic goals, try small behavior changes, and practice new ways of relating to themselves and others. Progress is often steady when clients can try things between sessions and reflect on what works.

Taking the first step can feel hard, and Samiyra acknowledges that courage. She aims to make the process understandable and manageable, so people can begin to regain balance in daily life.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Samiyra draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building coping skills. One common approach is skill-based work that teaches practical strategies for managing stress and anxiety, such as breathing, pacing activities, and step-by-step behavioral changes. This helps when symptoms feel overwhelming and people want clear tools to try between sessions.

Another key element is narrative and relational work that looks at how past experiences shape current relationships and self-image. This kind of work can help with attachment concerns, abandonment fears, and patterns that affect communication and intimacy. It usually involves talking through situations and practicing new responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they set small goals and adjust methods as progress is made.

If you prefer online sessions, confirm the specific session formats before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins during a busy day. It can also let people work from a calmer spot or choose a session length that fits into their routine.
