About Siyama
Siyama Drake is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 26 years of clinical experience. She lists stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family issues, trauma and abuse, and depression among her main focuses and notes additional work around attachment, abandonment, adoption and foster care, and young adult issues.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused approaches along with mindfulness and solution-focused ideas. Sessions are practical and oriented to what is keeping someone stuck. Siyama balances direct feedback with support to help people move past obstacles.
Her background includes long experience in residential and community settings working with people who have trauma histories. That experience informs how she notices patterns that repeat in relationships and daily life, and how she helps clients develop different responses.
In a session she listens for concrete problems and helps set small, reachable goals. She may introduce cognitive-behavioral techniques for thoughts and behaviors, mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity, or brief solution-focused steps to try between meetings.
Clients can expect straightforward, practical conversation aimed at clearer thinking and better coping. Siyama encourages people to identify what feels most urgent and then work together on steps that fit their life and commitments.
How Siyama uses CBT, mindfulness and solution-focused work online
CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavioral changes to see if things feel different. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and relationship problems.Mindfulness therapy involves short attention exercises and grounding skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These techniques can help with overwhelming emotions after trauma and with everyday stress. Solution-focused therapy zooms in on what is already working and builds small, practical steps to get unstuck. It is useful for people who want clear, quick strategies to try between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Siyama will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels realistic. Together they decide which methods to try first and adjust as progress or obstacles appear.
