Rafiah Dixon, LPC

Rafiah Dixon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and trauma find steadier footing. She focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Her approach is respectful and collaborative, and she centers each person as a unique individual.

Rafiah brings 14 years of counseling experience and works with clients from many cultural and religious backgrounds. She often addresses depression, anger, trauma and abuse, self-harm concerns, and suicidal ideation alongside life transitions and relationship struggles. Her work also supports issues like parenting, intimacy-related concerns, addictions, ADHD, and self-esteem.

She is solutions-focused and uses a holistic view that considers mind, body, emotions, and spirit. Sessions typically mix goal-setting with strategies you can try between meetings. Rafiah frames therapy as a time for exploration and practical change rather than only reflection.

Her toolbox includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. These approaches are used to identify patterns, build coping skills, and address traumatic experiences at a pace that fits each person.

Rafiah emphasizes collaboration and clear steps toward goals. She aims to help people move toward greater peace, progress, and personal strength while honoring their background and values.

Approaches used online and what they feel like

Rafiah uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice the thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and anxiety going, then test new ways of thinking and acting to feel better. Mindfulness Therapy is used to build present-moment awareness, reduce reactivity to strong emotions, and improve sleep and focus. Trauma-Focused Therapy provides a structured way to address traumatic experiences gently, helping people process memories and lower symptom intensity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level, adjusting pace and tools as progress is made. That collaboration helps shape practical goals and clear next steps between sessions.
