About Samaiyah
Samaiyah Fullylove is an LPC in Arizona with eight years of clinical experience supporting people through complex personal challenges. She centers her work on creating an affirming, compassionate environment for LGBT clients and addresses a broad range of concerns including trauma, interpersonal difficulties, and multicultural stressors.
Background and approach
Her training spans several evidence-informed approaches and she applies them flexibly to fit each person's needs. In practice she focuses on issues such as abandonment and attachment wounds, adoption and foster care histories, codependency and commitment struggles, and the emotional impacts of guilt, shame, and post-traumatic stress.
She also helps people navigate communication problems, life purpose questions, and the effects of autism spectrum differences on relationships and identity. Samaiyah emphasizes collaboration and practical skills while honoring each client’s background and lived experience.
Clients can expect a therapist who blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered listening, mindfulness skills, and trauma-focused interventions to help build coping strategies and healthier patterns. Her work combines compassion with structured tools so clients can explore strengths and make steady progress toward their goals.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more adaptive patterns; it is often used to address anxiety, mood concerns, relationship patterns, and reaction to stressful events. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening, unconditional regard, and collaboration so clients can explore values and self-understanding at their own pace. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills to help manage intense emotions and improve relationships.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to weigh goals, needs, and personal preferences and may integrate elements from these methods so treatment fits the individual rather than following a single protocol. This shared decision making helps tailor sessions to what feels most useful and realistic for the client.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility by letting people connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care around schedules and life demands, allow rehearsal of skills between sessions, and support steady progress even when in-person visits are not possible. Licensed professionals can adapt therapeutic tools like CBT and DBT to work effectively in virtual formats, maintaining focus on measurable steps and skill-building.
