About Zakkiyyah

She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and major life changes.

Her practice combines straightforward techniques and creative methods. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events continue to affect daily life.
Sessions focus on concrete skills and clear steps. Conversations often include identifying patterns, practicing new behaviors, and working through practical coping strategies. Group work has been part of her experience alongside individual counseling.
She frames counseling around strengths and real-world goals. Clients can expect to discuss what is getting in the way now and try small experiments to see what changes. She also includes discussions of meaning, spirituality, or career direction when those topics come up.
Her background supports people who want a direct, organized approach to their concerns. Zakkiyyah aims to help clients build confidence, repair communication, reduce anxious habits, and handle transitions with clearer plans. People who prefer concrete tools and straightforward guidance often find this style useful.
How Zakkiyyah uses CBT and trauma-focused work in online sessions
Zakkiyyah often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT sessions tend to focus on spotting unhelpful thinking, trying short experiments, and practicing new skills to reduce anxiety or change patterns. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past events affect current functioning; it concentrates on stabilizing reactions, processing painful memories at an appropriate pace, and building coping strategies.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. She will discuss goals, preferences, and current needs to decide which methods fit best. The work typically moves in clear steps so clients can see progress and adjust the plan as needed.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - they can shorten commute time, allow check-ins during a lunch break, or remove the need to travel. Some formats use less bandwidth or allow audio-only check-ins when that is simpler. Discussing scheduling preferences and practical constraints is part of the first meetings so sessions can work with everyday routines.
