About Samaiyah

Samaiyah Fullylove is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with eight years of clinical experience helping people navigate complex emotional and interpersonal challenges. She centers her work on an affirming, compassionate stance that attends to identity, multicultural concerns, and the lasting effects of trauma and attachment wounds.

Background and approach

Her background includes focused work with LGBT clients and individuals coping with abandonment, adoption and foster care histories, and post-traumatic stress. Samaiyah integrates evidence-based methods to address patterns of communication, codependency, guilt and shame, and questions of life purpose.

She draws on Internal Family Systems alongside cognitive and mindfulness-based tools to help clients understand internal parts, build practical coping skills, and strengthen self-compassion. Her style balances empathy with structured strategies so clients can develop clearer boundaries and more satisfying relationships.

Practicing in Arizona, Samaiyah offers sessions that fit varied schedules and communication preferences. She supports people in exploring identity, improving emotional regulation, and finding pathways toward healing and growth while honoring each person’s cultural background and lived experience.

Integrating evidence-based approaches into online care



Internal Family Systems helps clients notice and relate to different internal parts with curiosity and compassion, making it easier to address inner conflicts, shame, and self-criticism. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with practical strategies to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Mindfulness Therapy complements these approaches by teaching attention and acceptance skills that support emotional regulation and reduce reactivity.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Samaiyah works with each person to explore which methods match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring to therapy, adjusting strategies over time as needs shift. This partnership helps ensure treatment feels relevant and workable for the individual.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it possible to fit therapy into busy schedules and different communication styles. These options allow licensed professionals to provide consistent care across distances and time constraints while adapting formats to what helps the client engage most effectively.
