About Rafiah
Rafiah Dixon is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage stress and anxiety while working toward clearer goals. She brings 14 years of experience and a straightforward, collaborative style to sessions. Rafiah meets people where they are and focuses on small, practical steps that can make daily life easier.
Rafiah uses a blend of solution-focused methods, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care to guide conversations. Sessions often include goal-setting, skills practice, and gentle reflection on past experiences that still affect the present.
Background and approach
She frames therapy as active work rather than vague talk, with clear tools to try between meetings. Her background includes counseling people from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds across many life stages. She has worked with concerns such as depression, anxiety, grief, anger, trauma and substance-related struggles.
Rafiah approaches each person as an individual and tailors plans to their needs and values. She also brings attention to body, emotion, and spirit, drawing on approaches that emphasize present-moment awareness and practical behavior change. Rafiah describes therapy as a time for exploration and rebuilding, where past experiences can inform new directions.
The focus is on measurable progress and increased daily functioning. Rafiah practices in Texas and holds LPC credentials in Pennsylvania and Georgia as well. Sessions are conducted in English and offered through a range of online formats to fit different schedules and needs.
How practical therapies work online
Rafiah commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. CBT gives concrete tools for daily life, like breaking problems into manageable steps and practicing new responses.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice thoughts and body signals without judgment. Mindfulness strategies can support better sleep, reduced reactivity, and calmer responses to stress. Rafiah pairs this with Motivational Interviewing when people feel stuck; that approach helps clarify personal reasons for change and builds motivation one step at a time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rafiah will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and past efforts to decide which methods to try first. She adjusts plans as progress is made and invites feedback to keep the work relevant and useful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversation, phone can work with lower bandwidth, chat is useful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports short reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep skill practice going between sessions.
