About Azita

Azita Azizi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with nine years of experience supporting people through hard transitions. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, grief, and trauma. Her approach is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping people take small, manageable steps forward.

Azita uses a strengths-based, client-centered style. She listens carefully and helps clients set clear, realistic goals. Sessions often include learning skills from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

Background and approach

In practice she leans on solution-focused techniques to find what works now. That means identifying realistic next steps and testing them between sessions. Narrative therapy ideas are used too, helping people reframe their stories and see different possibilities.

She has worked with people facing parenting challenges and postpartum depression alongside broader concerns like compassion fatigue and career stress. Azita emphasizes collaboration - clients and therapist decide together what to try and how to measure progress. Her meetings are practical and conversational.

Expect direct feedback, skill-building, and space for honest reflection. The goal is to leave sessions with usable tools and clearer plans for moving forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the clients experience. The therapist listens without judgment and helps people find their own answers. This approach is helpful when someone needs a supportive space to sort out emotions and priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build different behaviors, which can ease symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Azita treats the choice of approach as a team decision. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process includes trying strategies, tracking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls create a face-to-face feel from home, phone sessions reduce travel time, and live chat or text messaging allow short check-ins and ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit consistent care into a busy life while keeping therapy flexible and accessible.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Narrative Therapy

Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.
