Samiyra Shabazz-Dixon, LCSW

Samiyra Shabazz-Dixon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Kentucky with six years of professional experience. She supports individuals and couples facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, low self esteem, and depression, and she addresses related concerns such as attachment and abandonment, caregiver stress, communication difficulties, and issues around forgiveness, guilt, and shame.

She focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and feelings can be expressed and explored. Her approach emphasizes practical skill building and collaborative problem solving to help clients increase motivation, strengthen confidence, and work toward clearer life purpose and healthier relationships. Samiyra also assists clients coping with mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, isolation or loneliness, and struggles with impulsivity and financial stress.

Recognizing that beginning therapy requires courage, she affirms the step of reaching out and works alongside clients to identify realistic goals and actionable strategies. Samiyra integrates evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person or couple, adapting interventions to match individual needs, preferences, and the pace that feels most comfortable.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Samiyra employs skills-focused, evidence-informed interventions that teach practical tools for managing stress and anxiety. These techniques emphasize breathing, grounding, problem solving, and behavioral strategies to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning for people facing overwhelming worry or low mood.

She also uses trauma-informed approaches that prioritize pacing, safety, and stabilization while addressing the effects of trauma and abuse. This work aims to help clients process difficult experiences at a manageable rate and develop coping strategies for triggers, flashbacks, and heightened arousal.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Samiyra collaborates with each person to determine what fits best. She tailors interventions to a client’s goals, life circumstances, and preferences, adjusting methods as progress unfolds and needs change.

Online therapy with Samiyra offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care from different locations within Kentucky, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for the work at hand.
