Samaiyah Fullylove, LPC

Samaiyah Fullylove is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with eight years of clinical experience in Arizona. She focuses on creating an affirming, compassionate space where people can name what feels hard and start making changes. Her work is direct and practical, with attention to identity, belonging, and day-to-day coping.

She often helps people who identify as LGBT and those dealing with multicultural stress. Samaiyah addresses issues such as guilt, shame, abandonment fears, and attachment patterns that interfere with relationships and wellbeing. She also supports people facing identity questions and life-purpose concerns.

Samaiyah uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches along with client-centered conversations and mindfulness practices. In sessions she helps people notice thoughts and patterns, try small experiments, and practice new ways of relating. The language in sessions is straightforward and focused on what a person can do between meetings.

Trauma-focused work is part of her practice when past events are getting in the way of current life. She combines that with skills from dialectical behavior therapy when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s comfort level.

She works by listening first, then offering clear, practical steps. Samaiyah aims to help people build stronger connections to themselves and others. Her approach is grounded, supportive, and action-oriented.

How Samaiyah’s approaches translate to online therapy

CBT helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Online CBT sessions often include worksheets, short behavioral experiments, and home practice to change patterns that cause distress.

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and building a strong therapeutic relationship. In remote sessions this shows up as reflective conversation, validating a person’s experience, and working at the client’s pace to find what matters most.

Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. When used online it can include brief skills coaching, guided practice, and planning for stressful moments.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins, skill practice, and scheduling easier. These formats offer flexibility so therapy can fit into busy lives.
