Rafiah Dixon

Rafiah Dixon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people move toward calmer, more manageable days. She focuses on practical steps clients can use to handle stress, anger, anxiety, grief, and other life challenges. Her approach is respectful and collaborative, with an emphasis on each person’s strengths.

She brings 14 years of experience supporting people from varied cultural and religious backgrounds. Rafiah uses solution-focused techniques to identify immediate, do-able goals and to track small wins. She also draws on trauma-focused work when past hurts are affecting daily life.

Her style blends mind, body, emotion, and spirit. Sessions often include skills from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to change unhelpful thinking and to develop calmer responses. Motivational interviewing is used when people are weighing change or need help building motivation.

Rafiah has worked with concerns such as depression, anxiety, grief, anger, self-harm, and suicidal ideation. She also addresses family problems, parenting strain, body image, prejudice and discrimination, and issues affecting sexual and gender minorities. Clients describe therapy as a space to explore and rebuild a sense of control.

She practices in Texas and holds LPC credentials in Pennsylvania and Georgia as well. Sessions are conducted in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Approaches you can use in online sessions

Rafiah commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness techniques to help people change unhelpful thought patterns and develop calmer reactions. CBT involves noticing thoughts and testing them against evidence, then practicing alternative ways of thinking and behaving. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness and grounding tools to reduce reactivity and ease anxiety.

She also brings motivational interviewing into conversations when someone is unsure about making a change. That approach focuses on exploring reasons for change, strengthening motivation, and setting small achievable steps rather than pushing a plan from the outside.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rafiah will talk with clients about their goals, preferences, and life demands, and then recommend or combine methods that fit. This is a collaborative process that can shift as goals evolve.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, mindfulness, and motivational techniques to remote conversations so clients can practice skills between sessions and track progress over time.
