About Zakiya

Zakiya Bircher brings a focused clinical path to her counseling work, combining formal training in social work and counseling with three years as a licensed professional counselor. She holds a master's degree in counseling from Prairie View A&M University and practices in Texas as an LPC.

Background and approach

Her background includes long experience in education and school counseling that informs a practical, strengths-oriented approach to care. Zakiya emphasizes cognitive behavioral and solution-focused methods, helping clients reframe unhelpful patterns and identify concrete steps toward change.

She aims to listen closely and engage people in exploring different perspectives while addressing concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and abuse, relationship and family issues, grief, sleep difficulties, and workplace stress. Her style is service-minded and collaborative, oriented toward practical coping skills and achievable goals rather than abstract theory.

Clients can expect sessions delivered through a variety of online formats. Zakiya’s practice is suited for people seeking structured, skills-based work that balances reflection with action and clear next steps toward improved day-to-day functioning.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors through concrete exercises and practice. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and impulsivity by teaching skills to shift reactions and build healthier routines.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clear goals and small, manageable steps toward change. This brief, action-oriented approach helps clients pinpoint strengths, try specific strategies between sessions, and measure progress on practical life challenges like workplace stress, relationship concerns, or coping with change.

Finding the right combination of techniques is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match approaches to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods over time when something isn’t working as hoped.

Online sessions make these methods accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. That flexibility supports consistent engagement despite busy schedules or geographic constraints, allowing clients to practice CBT exercises, receive solution-focused coaching, and check in between appointments in the format that fits their life.
