Zakiya Bircher is a licensed professional counselor in Texas with a background in social work and counseling. She brings a calm presence and attentive listening to sessions. Zakiya aims to help people sort through stress, anxiety, relationship strain, mood concerns, and life transitions.
Before becoming a counselor she worked in schools and education. That experience shaped how she explains things simply and stays practical. She uses clear language and helps people try small changes that can make daily life easier.
Background and approach
In sessions Zakiya leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. She blends those methods with mindfulness tools so clients can notice thoughts and take action. Sessions often focus on specific goals and steps the person can try between meetings.
She supports people facing mood disorders, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting and workplace stress, ADHD, and issues around identity and relationships. Zakiya also addresses concerns such as impulsivity, abandonment, blended family challenges, and forgiveness when those come up. People who prefer a practical, gentle approach usually fit well with her style.
She listens closely, asks straightforward questions, and helps clients build coping skills. Her aim is to make progress feel doable and relevant to everyday life. Zakiya works in English and sees clients across Texas.

How these approaches work online
Zakiya commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, mood swings, and managing impulsivity. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which homes in on specific goals and small, practical steps a person can try between sessions to create change.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then suggest options. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively which methods to try and adjust the plan over time.
Online therapy makes this collaborative work convenient. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options help clients fit sessions into work breaks, busy schedules, or days with unpredictable demands, while still working on CBT, mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies.
