Rafiah Dixon, LPC

Rafiah Dixon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and supervisor who helps people pursue greater peace while making steady progress toward their life goals. She centers her work on each person’s inherent strengths, guiding exploration and self-discovery when life feels overwhelming or unclear. Rafiah treats each client as a unique individual and approaches therapy with respect, collaboration, and clear clinical objectivity.

With more than 14 years of experience, she practices a solutions-focused model and has counseled people of all ages and diverse cultural and religious backgrounds. Her clinical experience includes supporting individuals through depression, anxiety, grief, anger management, and trauma, including experiences of abuse, self-harm, and suicidal ideation. Rafiah draws on a holistic framework that attends to mind, body, emotions, and spirit, believing that one’s past can be a source of motivation and renewed purpose rather than a fixed destiny.

Rafiah likens therapy to a restorative practice for the mind - a dedicated time for personal reflection and transformation aimed at helping people live more fully. She welcomes the opportunity to work alongside clients as they seek peace, progress, and empowerment in their lives.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Rafiah uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify patterns of thinking and behavior and develop practical skills to manage symptoms like anxiety and depression. CBT is goal-oriented and often involves exercises that can be practiced between sessions to support steady progress.

She also integrates Mindfulness Therapy to help people build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to stress. Mindfulness practices can support emotion regulation, improved sleep, and a greater sense of calm in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Rafiah works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore options and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy with Rafiah is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied life situations. These options make it easier to access consistent care from licensed professionals and to continue work between sessions when needed.
