Juwairiah Abdus-Saboor , LCSW

Juwairiah Abdus-Saboor is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who brings a strengths-based, family-centered approach to therapy. She completed a Bachelor of Social Work with a minor in Spanish at NC State University in 2012, earned a Master of Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2016, and obtained her clinical social work license in 2019. In 2020 she completed specialized training as a Certified Child & Adolescent Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP-CA), a credential that reflects focused skills in treating anxiety in younger clients.

With eight years of experience working across communities in Virginia, she focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family challenges, parenting concerns, substance issues, and life transitions. She also works with issues related to attachment, abandonment, caregiver stress, codependency, and family of origin dynamics. Her practice emphasizes discovering individual strengths, building balance, and developing practical coping strategies so people can move toward more fulfilling daily life.

Juwairiah uses an eclectic blend of approaches including strength-based work, solution-focused methods, self-psychology, systems thinking, and attachment theory to tailor care to each person’s needs. She was born and raised in Raleigh, North Carolina, in a Pan-African family and is a mother of two young sons. Outside of work she enjoys walking, traveling, cooking, exploring new foods, making play-dough creations with her children, and learning about different cultures and history.

Approaches that guide online support

Juwairiah integrates Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address emotional and relational concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape expectations and patterns in close relationships and helps people build healthier connections and repair relationship ruptures. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative work between therapist and client. Juwairiah partners with people to assess goals, preferences, and needs, and then tailors methods so the tools fit the person rather than forcing a single model on every situation.

Online therapy with Juwairiah is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access support from home, balance family and work commitments, and continue care during life transitions while working with licensed professionals and therapists who adapt treatment to each person’s circumstances.
