About Mahroo

Mahroo Moshari is a licensed clinical social worker who blends practical therapy methods to help families and parents navigate hard moments. She works from New York and draws on 20 years of experience to offer steady, straightforward support for everyday struggles. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at helping people build clearer communication and better coping skills.

She often helps with parenting challenges, family stress, and mood concerns like anxiety and depression.

Background and approach

Mahroo also addresses issues such as low self-esteem, grief, trauma and abuse, and challenges linked to attention differences. She pays attention to how culture and background shape feelings and family life. Sessions focus on learning useful skills.

Clients learn problem-solving steps, ways to manage negative thoughts, and techniques to reduce tension at home. Work together often includes improving how people talk to one another and setting clearer boundaries. Mahroo uses several evidence-based approaches.

She draws on client-centered work to follow each person’s priorities, cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking, and emotionally-focused methods to repair attachment and closeness. She adapts these approaches to each family’s situation. She provides services in English, Italian, and Persian.

Practical matters such as scheduling and format are handled through the therapy platform’s starting steps. For parents feeling overwhelmed, she aims to make the first steps simple and manageable.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening to each person and shaping sessions around what matters most. It helps parents and family members feel heard and clarifies priorities for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful reactions.

Finding the right fit is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, try approaches that match the family’s needs, and adjust methods based on what works. This collaborative tone helps families try concrete strategies while staying attentive to cultural background and individual preferences.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to attend. These options let parents fit sessions into busy schedules, follow up between meetings, and choose the format that feels safest and most convenient. For many families, the flexibility helps maintain momentum and put new skills to use in daily life.

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.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
