Juwairiah Abdus-Saboor , LCSW

Juwairiah Abdus-Saboor is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and changes in life. She focuses on women's issues among a broad set of concerns and aims to create a calm space where clients can talk through what matters most to them.

She uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. That can mean looking at patterns in relationships, learning new ways to handle strong emotions, or using simple mindfulness practices to ease daily anxiety. She also draws on motivational strategies to help people make and sustain changes they want for their life.

Juwairiah trained at Virginia Commonwealth University where she earned a Master of Social Work and has been practicing for eight years across Virginia. She holds the LCSW credential and has experience helping people cope with caregiving stress, attachment and abandonment concerns, family-of-origin issues, and struggles with self-esteem and purpose.

Her approach is collaborative and direct. Sessions often include talking through recent problems, identifying practical steps, and trying out new behaviors between meetings. She supports people dealing with addictions, bipolar mood concerns, sleep disruption, and relationship difficulties while keeping goals clear and achievable.

Outside of practice she values family life, cultural learning, and simple everyday activities like walking and cooking. Her background as a mother and as someone raised in a close family informs a down-to-earth style that centers strengths and realistic change.

Approaches that translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy helps people notice patterns in relationships and how past bonds affect current trust and closeness. It is useful for attachment issues, abandonment concerns, family-of-origin problems, and certain relationship struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. It works well for sleep problems, anxiety, and mood regulation. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on recognizing and naming emotions to change how people respond in important relationships and to reduce distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses goals and preferences with each person and recommends a mix of methods that fit their situation. Sessions are collaborative - clients and the therapist try ideas, track what helps, and adjust the plan together over time.

Online therapy provides flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people see and interact much like an in-person visit. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a busy day or to process thoughts between sessions. These options make it simpler to maintain continuity of care while managing work, family, or travel.
