Mahsa Maghsoudi

Mahsa Maghsoudi is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship problems, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She speaks English and Persian and brings ten years of clinical experience to her work.

She prefers a practical style. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, doable steps. Conversations look at feelings, patterns in relationships, and the thoughts that get in the way of change. Mahsa aims to make therapy feel calm and approachable rather than overwhelming.

Her background includes graduate training in mental health counseling and advanced study in counselor education and supervision. Over the past decade she has supported people dealing with attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, and issues around control and impulsivity. She also helps those facing divorce, isolation, shame, and grief.

Mahsa commonly uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. She draws on strategies that address mood, behavior, and coping skills to help clients manage symptoms and build more effective habits. The work often includes practicing new ways to respond to stress and repair communication patterns.

Her approach is collaborative: clients set priorities and Mahsa adapts methods to match each person’s needs. To begin, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

How evidence-based methods translate to online therapy

Many of the evidence-based techniques Mahsa uses are straightforward to apply in conversation and in short skills practice. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety and depression. Dialectical strategies emphasize emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that can be taught and practiced between sessions to manage intense feelings.

Trauma-informed work centers on safety, pacing, and stabilizing symptoms before approaching distressing memories. This helps people who have experienced abuse or trauma feel more grounded and regain a sense of control over reactions and relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits their needs, goals, and preferences, and then adjusts methods as progress is made. That collaborative process helps match techniques to real-life goals.

The practical benefits of online therapy make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, such as avoiding travel time or scheduling during a lunch break. Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions support continuity of care and let them practice skills in everyday situations without major disruption to daily routines.
