About Sepideh
Sepideh Pourhassani is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, parenting challenges, anxiety, addiction, and mood concerns. She works with adults and adolescents and offers straightforward, practical support for everyday problems. Her style is warm and down-to-earth, aimed at helping parents and individuals find clearer next steps when life feels overwhelming.
She learned early in her work that trauma, anxiety, depression, and grief can affect anyone.
Background and approach
That shaped how she approaches care: noticing what’s most urgent, then addressing it in small manageable steps. Sessions emphasize what the person wants to change and ways to reach those goals. Her work includes attention to addiction and emotional or behavioral difficulties in children and teens.
She also addresses relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, anger, and issues related to identity and discrimination. Problem areas such as communication difficulties, attachment concerns, and struggles after adoption or foster care are also part of her practice. Sepideh uses a mix of practical methods including talk-based support, skill building, and goal-focused planning.
She encourages clients to try concrete strategies between sessions and to notice what helps. Her approach aims to make progress feel realistic and achievable. She holds a Tennessee LPC, number TN LPC 4856, and brings eight years of experience to her work.
Sessions are offered in English and she is available to work with international clients by online formats. The focus is on helping people take the first step toward change and steady improvement.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in each session, letting them guide what matters most while the therapist listens and reflects. This method helps when someone needs emotional support, validation, and space to make sense of stressful events. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on practical steps to change patterns of thinking and behavior. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and problems that respond to skill practice and structure. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and calm the mind, which can help with stress, cravings, and mood swings.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort. That choice can shift over time as progress is made and priorities change.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options let parents and busy adults fit sessions into tight schedules and keep continuity when life is unpredictable. Working this way makes it easier to practice new skills between sessions and to get support when it is most needed.
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.
