About Nazanin

Nazanin Kavoussi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with Psychotherapy Privilege - LCSW-R practicing in New York. She brings about ten years of clinical experience helping people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or stuck. Nazanin writes plainly and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone searching for help.

Her work addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, substance use issues, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, sleep and eating difficulties, grief, and coping with life changes.

Background and approach

She also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar symptoms, compassion fatigue, and career-related stress. Her practice includes work related to LGBT matters and family topics. Nazanin shapes therapy around each person’s needs.

She uses cognitive-behavioral tools to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She pairs that with psycho-education to explain why certain patterns repeat. Mindfulness techniques help people build calm and focus in daily life.

Sessions are practical and collaborative. Clients can expect clear goals, small steps between visits, and tools to practice between sessions. Nazanin aims to support motivation, improve coping skills, and strengthen self-confidence.

Her LCSW-R credential indicates licensure in New York. Nazanin offers sessions in English and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a session based on therapist availability.

Evidence-Informed Techniques and Online Flexibility

Nazanin commonly uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day habits because it breaks problems into manageable steps.

She also incorporates psycho-education to explain patterns and teach skills. That means sessions often include clear explanations about why certain reactions happen and concrete strategies to practice between meetings. Mindfulness exercises are used as well to build attention and reduce reactivity in stressful moments.

Choosing the right combination of methods is a team effort. The therapist works with each person to figure out which approaches match their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process may involve trying a few tools and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, continue work when travel or illness interferes, and use shorter check-ins when helpful. Licensed professionals can tailor the format to the work you want to do and help you pick the best way to stay consistent with treatment.
