About Rafiah
Rafiah Dixon is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people find steadiness during hard seasons. She aims to help clients move toward goals while using their own strengths. Her style is respectful and collaborative, and she meets each person as an individual.
Rafiah brings 14 years of counseling experience and uses practical, solution-focused methods. She draws on tools from cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness approaches to address anxiety, depression, and stress.
Background and approach
Trauma-informed strategies are used when needed to address abuse, grief, and related concerns. Her work covers a broad range of concerns including relationship strain, intimacy-related issues, addictions, sleep problems, parenting stress, anger, self-esteem, and career questions. She also supports people facing multicultural challenges, prejudice and discrimination, body image struggles, and women's issues.
Coaching-style conversations are part of helping clients set and reach goals. Rafiah combines attention to thoughts, emotions, body sensations, and personal values in sessions. That holistic perspective means sessions can include practical skill-building, guided mindfulness exercises, and goal planning.
She keeps language straightforward and focuses on what people can use between sessions. Sessions are available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. She practices in Texas and offers services in English.
Rafiah holds LPC credentials in Pennsylvania and Georgia as well as the LPC designation described above.
How these approaches work online
CBT, or cognitive-behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life actions. It helps manage anxiety, low mood, and stress by teaching clear tools to change thinking and behavior. Mindfulness therapy encourages present-moment awareness through simple practices that reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation; it often helps with anxiety, sleep problems, and stress by teaching brief exercises that can be used anywhere. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative way of talking that helps people find their own reasons to change and build motivation for steps like addressing addictions or making life adjustments.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Rafiah will listen to your goals, preferences, and needs, and suggest which methods to try first. She works together with clients to adjust the plan as progress and challenges emerge, making therapy a collaborative process.
Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is useful for deeper conversation and skill practice, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text work well for brief check-ins, between-session coaching, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life and continue steady progress regardless of location.
