About Faizah

Faizah Nasser is a licensed master social worker who supports people with family and parenting concerns as well as depression, anxiety, stress, ADHD, grief, trauma and relationship issues. She writes plainly and listens first, helping clients sort immediate problems and figure out practical next steps. Her style aims to be encouraging and down-to-earth.

Faizah works by offering steady guidance while clients set their own goals. Faizah trained at Wayne State University and holds an LMSW.

Background and approach

She has about eight years of professional experience in multiple settings. That includes time in outpatient clinics, hospitals, and schools where she provided both individual and group sessions. These varied settings helped her learn to adapt tools for different needs.

In sessions she draws on client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the person in front of her. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Solution-focused ideas are used when clients want concrete steps and immediate change.

Mindfulness practice and motivational interviewing are added when someone needs help building steady habits or finding internal motivation. Faizah keeps language simple and focuses on small, doable changes that add up over time. Her work often includes parenting skills, caregiver stress, attachment concerns, and challenges related to autism and impulsivity.

She also helps people dealing with career questions, life purpose, self-esteem, hoarding, panic, and self-love. Sessions are offered in English and conducted from Michigan.

How Faizah blends practical approaches for online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the concerns you bring. The therapist offers empathy and gently guides conversations so clients drive the goals and pace of work. This approach helps when someone needs a safe space to sort feelings and priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions. It teaches simple strategies to test unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and panic symptoms because it gives concrete tools to practice between sessions.

Mindfulness techniques are used to notice present-moment experience without judgment. These practices help reduce reactivity and make daily stressors easier to manage. They pair well with CBT when someone wants both skills and awareness work.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning can shift over time as priorities change.

Online sessions through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. These options allow for flexible scheduling and continued support even when in-person visits aren’t possible. They also let therapists share worksheets, practice exercises, and short check-ins between meetings to keep progress moving.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
