About Naeema
Naeema Stutely-Hawkins is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia with six years of clinical experience. She helps people who feel stuck by addressing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She also works with concerns about relationships, parenting, career questions, caregiver stress, and finding life purpose.
In session she focuses on clear, practical conversations. She uses client-centered methods to listen and follow what matters most to each person. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thinking and try new actions that change feelings over time.
People can expect straightforward talk about goals and small steps to move toward them. Sessions include checking what worked, and adjusting plans as needed. She helps with communication problems, guilt or shame, isolation and social anxiety by breaking issues into manageable pieces and practicing skills in session.
Naeema emphasizes respectful, sensitive interaction. She supports parents dealing with parenting strain and caregivers managing stress. She encourages people to reflect on who they are and what matters next after a job, relationship, or health change.
To begin, she asks questions to understand current concerns and goals. Later work focuses on practical skills, clearer thinking, and rebuilding confidence. Her style is steady and goal-focused, with room to review progress and make small course corrections along the way.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy means conversations that focus on the person's priorities. The therapist listens, reflects, and follows what the client brings up so sessions stay relevant to current concerns and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions; it uses brief exercises and experiments to test new ways of thinking and behaving that can reduce anxiety or improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options and help decide together which methods fit the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative decision can shift as progress is reviewed and new goals emerge.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so clients can use a break between commitments. It also makes it possible to continue momentum after a life change without rearranging an entire schedule.
