She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, mood concerns, and anger. She also helps people navigating relationship and parenting strains, grief, and issues related to LGBT identities.

Faizah brings many years of experience working with multicultural concerns, communication problems, and the fallout from family of origin issues. She supports people dealing with guilt, shame, isolation, and life transitions such as divorce and postpartum challenges.
Practical goals are a common focus in her work. That can mean clearer communication with others, better anger management strategies, or rebuilding a sense of purpose after loss. People who want concrete steps and steady guidance often find this approach a good fit.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Faizah commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and responding to what matters most to the person, which helps clarify goals and priorities. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete steps to change unhelpful patterns and reduce anger or anxiety.She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when strong emotions or impulsive reactions are present. DBT skills include emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, and they are useful for learning to respond rather than react in heated moments. Together these approaches offer both understanding and practical tools.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. She works with each person to try strategies, check what helps, and adjust the plan based on goals and preferences. That way sessions focus on useful skills and clear progress markers.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commute time so people can use breaks more efficiently. Many people appreciate continuing therapeutic work when life circumstances make in-person visits difficult.
