About Samaiyah
Samaiyah Fullylove is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arizona with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on creating a compassionate, affirming space for people exploring identity, sexuality, and self-acceptance. Her approach is direct and practical, aimed at helping people feel steadier in day-to-day life.
Samaiyah works with a range of concerns including LGBT-related stress, trauma, and interpersonal challenges. She often helps people who struggle with guilt, shame, abandonment fears, and recurring relationship patterns. Her work includes attention to multicultural concerns and the effects of prejudice and discrimination on wellbeing.
In sessions she combines mindfulness with concrete skills. That means noticing what’s happening in the moment and practicing tools to manage intense feelings. She also draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thought patterns and dialectical behavior techniques for emotional regulation when needed.
Samaiyah pays close attention to how attachment history, adoption or foster care experiences, and family dynamics shape current behavior. She helps clients trace patterns back to their roots and then try new ways of relating. The tone in sessions is warm and collaborative, with room for both practical problem solving and quieter reflection.
People who want straightforward guidance, a focus on identity and culture, and real skills to manage strong emotions may find her style a good fit. She invites clients to identify goals together and to move at a pace that feels manageable.
Mindfulness and skills work for everyday challenges
Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts, feelings, and body sensations without judgment. It supports managing anxiety, shame, and intense emotions by practicing attention to the present moment and simple breathing or grounding techniques.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship. The therapist listens closely and follows the client’s pace so people can feel understood and find their own answers.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is useful for changing repetitive thinking, improving mood, and addressing communication problems.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Samaiyah will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That choice is reviewed over time and adjusted as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules require them. Talk with the therapist to match session length and rhythm to daily routines and to plan a pace that feels manageable.
