About Zakiya
Zakiya Bircher is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with three years of experience in clinical counseling. She focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and relationship struggles. Zakiya also works with issues like parenting strain, workplace problems, grief, and mood-related conditions.
Before her LPC work she spent many years in education and school counseling. That background informs how she talks through problems and supports practical skills. She uses direct, goal-oriented techniques to help people notice patterns and try different responses.
Her approach leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy, with mindfulness practices included. In sessions she helps people identify unhelpful thoughts, test new behaviors, and set short-term goals they can practice between meetings.
Zakiya aims to help people manage anger that shows up at home or work, reduce recurring stress, and build steadier mood habits. She also supports clients dealing with trauma, grief, ADHD symptoms, and the emotional fallout of relationship or family changes.
Sessions are conducted in English and she works from Texas. The counseling structure emphasizes practical steps and small experiments rather than long lectures. People looking for focused, skills-based support may find this approach useful.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
CBT focuses on spotting thought patterns and testing small behavior changes. In practice Zakiya guides clients to name automatic thoughts, try alternative actions, and track results to reduce stress, anger, or depressive symptoms.Solution-Focused Therapy narrows work to practical goals. Sessions concentrate on what is already working, setting short-term steps, and building on quick wins to improve day-to-day functioning.
Mindfulness Therapy involves simple attention and breathing exercises to lessen reactivity. These skills can help with rising anger, sleep problems, or anxiety by creating short pauses before responding.
Choosing the right blend of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will review a persons goals and preferences, try an approach, and adjust as needed so the work fits individual needs.
