My name is Rabiia Ali and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have been practicing for four years, yet I have been in the mental health field for the past thirteen. I graduated with my Masters in Counseling, Marriage and Family Therapist Concentration from the University of Phoenix. I received my Bachelors in African American Studies from UCLA. My specializations include trauma recovery using dialectical behavioral therapy with an integrated client-centered approach. I am where you are and the therapeutic experience is what you want, need and desire. My job is to assist you in reaching your treatment goals as a guide on your journey.
Therapy modalities I have experience with are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, Narrative Therapy and Exposure Therapy. I have experience working with clients diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Bipolar I and II, Generalized Anxiety, Major Depressive Disorder, Dissociation, Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective Disorder. I also have experience with clients who have needed Anger Management and Domestic Violence education and parents involved with Child Protective Services (CPS).

I hope to create a safe space for you to be able to openly and freely express yourself, your needs and your desires. My purpose in your journey is to help you move forward and live a fulfilled life. It is time to stop surviving and thrive. I am the person to help you get there.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Rabiia is an extremely talented counselor. She has been instrumental in helping me work through difficult challenges and develop a better understanding of how to navigate hardship with strength and clarity. I can't recommend her enough!
Dr. Ali has really helped me already, even only after two sessions. I am so grateful for her and this service.
It’s been such a struggle to find someone I can talk to. I feel as though Rabiia is capable of helping me learn how to process the trauma I’ve experienced instead of just cope with it. She’s attentive and asks the questions I’ve been avoiding which have brought me to need assistance. Grateful to have found her!
I was assigned to the perfect person. She challenges my way of thinking and is helping me move in the right direction at a pace that works for me. She’s a good listener and always asks me questions that make me self reflect.
Rabiia was incredibly mindful in our first exchange on-the-phone dialogue, actively listening and offered compassion in her sharing. Ms. Ali has an understanding of my concerns dealing with childhood trauma, repressed sexuality, while understanding and contributing to the use of proper LGBTQ pronouns. Rabiia has offered me a space of visibility.
