About Zakkiyyah
Zakkiyyah Sally is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with six years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family concerns, trauma and abuse, and help adjusting to life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps a person can use between meetings to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people recognize unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavioral experiments. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when painful events are central to a person's current struggles. Both approaches are presented in clear, simple terms so clients know what to expect in a session.
Zakkiyyah has provided individual and group therapy settings during her career. She also draws on strength-based methods to highlight existing skills and resources a person already has. Conversations tend to include concrete coping strategies and communication tools for use at home and work.
Common topics she addresses include attachment concerns, caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, family problems, and post-traumatic stress. She also supports people working on body image, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and finding purpose after major life changes.
Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online booking flow.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Many people find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helpful for anxiety and stress because it breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT sessions typically include identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing small behavior changes to test new ways of coping.Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on addressing past events that continue to cause distress. In practice this means slowly working through memories and current triggers, building skills to manage reactions, and pacing work according to what the client can handle.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will review a person's concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest a plan. Adjustments are made over time based on what is or isn't helping.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy home or workday, reduce commute time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and trauma-focused tools to remote sessions so practical skills are practiced between meetings.
