Juwairiah Abdus-Saboor, LCSW

Juwairiah Abdus-Saboor is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage anxiety, stress, depression, grief, and major life changes. She uses practical, down-to-earth methods to help people build coping skills, improve relationships, and regain a sense of balance. Juwairiah works from Virginia and offers sessions by phone, video, live chat, or text messaging.

She blends evidence-informed approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-focused ideas, and mindfulness to match each person's needs. Sessions often focus on clear strategies people can use between meetings, like thought reframing, behavioral experiments, and emotion regulation practices. Juwairiah also draws on motivational interviewing when the goal is behavior change, for example with addiction or lifestyle shifts.

Before becoming an LCSW she earned a Bachelor of Social Work from North Carolina State University with a minor in Spanish, then completed a Master of Social Work at Virginia Commonwealth University. She has worked in Virginia for eight years in different mental health roles, primarily helping adults facing mood, relationship, and coping concerns.

Parents may find her approachable and practical when discussing parenting stress, sleep issues, or communication problems within families. She respects cultural background and life context while helping people identify strengths and small steps forward.

Typical work includes addressing attachment and abandonment questions, caregiver strain, codependency, career stress, and identity issues. She encourages simple, achievable goals and uses short exercises to help people notice progress over time.

How her approaches work online

Juwairiah commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy during online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes to test new beliefs; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect emotions and reactions, which can help with communication problems, abandonment concerns, and relationship strain.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will listen to the person's goals, try an approach, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. Sessions often include homework-like exercises to practice between meetings so progress carries into everyday life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for different needs. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper work, phone calls can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins or ongoing support without scheduling a full session. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work when life changes occur.
