Samiyra Shabazz-Dixon

Samiyra Shabazz-Dixon is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, and low self-esteem. She holds an LCSW and has six years of professional experience supporting people through depression and motivation struggles. Samiyra creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can say what they need to say and start sorting through difficult feelings.

She focuses on practical, everyday steps that people can use between sessions. That can mean working on clearer communication, setting small goals, or building routines that reduce overwhelm. When relationship concerns come up she helps people clarify boundaries, expectations, and next steps for their own well-being.

Samiyra has experience addressing trauma and abuse by helping clients name what happened and find ways to feel more grounded. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, or abandonment concerns and helps them reconnect with self-worth and purpose. Divorce and separation are listed among her focus areas, and she can help individuals navigate the emotional and practical fallout of those changes.

She practices in Kentucky and conducts sessions in English. Samiyra emphasizes collaborative work - she listens first, then tailors steps to fit each person’s life and goals. If you’re unsure where to begin, she encourages completing the short intake questionnaire to help match needs with next steps.

Taking this step can feel hard, and Samiyra aims to make the process clearer and more manageable. She supports clients as they use therapy to build stronger coping skills, clearer communication, and a renewed sense of direction.

How evidence-based methods translate to online care

Samiyra uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear steps and measurable change. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches tools for managing anxiety and mood swings, such as breathing, grounding, and activity planning. These skills are practical and can be practiced between sessions to reduce day-to-day distress.

Another approach centers on processing traumatic experiences in a paced way so memories feel less overwhelming and people can feel more present. That work focuses on naming what happened, tracking emotional reactions, and building stronger self-support strategies. Both approaches aim to strengthen coping and improve communication for relationship concerns, including separation and the changes that follow.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match needs, goals, and comfort. That collaboration means trying a method and adjusting it if it does not fit well.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to schedule care around work, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to continue work between in-person appointments and to use session time for practical planning and skill practice.
