Juwairiah Abdus-Saboor , LCSW

Juwairiah Abdus-Saboor is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with specialized training in treating anxiety in children and adolescents. She earned a Certified Child & Adolescent Anxiety Treatment Professional credential (CCATP-CA) in 2020, reflecting focused education in evidence-based approaches for youth anxiety. Over eight years she has practiced across multiple communities in Virginia, bringing attention to depression, self-esteem concerns, and a broad range of life transitions.

Her clinical foundation includes a Bachelor of Social Work with a minor in Spanish from NC State University and a Master of Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University. She obtained her clinical social work license in 2019 and combines formal training with an eclectic therapeutic stance that draws on strengths-based, solution-focused, self-psychology, systems, and attachment perspectives. This mix allows her to tailor care to each person or family she works with, attending to relational patterns, coping strategies, and practical skills.

Born and raised in Raleigh, North Carolina by Pan-African parents, she grew up with four sisters and maintains close family ties. She is a mother of two young sons and is partnered with a supportive husband. Outside of practice she enjoys walking, travel, cooking and trying new foods, crafting play-dough projects with her sons, and exploring different cultures and history.

Attachment and emotion-focused care offered online

Juwairiah integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to address relational patterns, thoughts, and feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connections and helps people build more secure ways of relating to others, useful for attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and family problems. CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and helps clients develop practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress. EFT centers on understanding and shifting emotional responses within relationships to improve connection and communication, which can be especially helpful for couples, family conflicts, and attachment-related distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Juwairiah collaborates with each person to identify goals, preferences, and strengths, and together they decide which combination of methods fits best for the issue at hand.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care across locations in Virginia, and access support in ways that match individual comfort and needs.
