About Theyazan
Theyazan Kohaif is a licensed social worker with ten years of clinical experience. He holds a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) credential. Theyazan focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people facing stressful life moments and mental health challenges.
He helps with anxiety and depression in straightforward terms. He also addresses relationship stress, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, motivation, and addictions. Sessions emphasize clear goals and small steps that fit day-to-day life.
Background and approach
Theyazan adapts conversations and plans to match each person’s needs. He listens for what matters most and suggests doable strategies rather than long lists of theory. The work is collaborative and paced to what the person can manage.
His background includes a decade of hands-on practice in Michigan and Ohio settings. That experience informs how he notices patterns like avoidance, anger, or difficulty coping with life changes. He brings that practical perspective into sessions so people leave with usable tools.
People connect with him for help around grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, and complex conditions such as bipolar or chronic illness. He explains options plainly and helps prioritize what to tackle first. The aim is steady progress, not quick fixes.
Evidence-based care delivered online and tailored to you
Theyazan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and practical change. One common approach emphasizes cognitive strategies to notice and shift unhelpful thinking patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. Another focuses on skills for managing stress and strong emotions through activity planning, grounding, and problem-solving, which is useful for people dealing with trauma responses, anger, or major life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or adapt methods that match their goals, preferences, and pace. That means trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and adjusting plans together over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. These options let people fit therapy around work, school, or caregiving, and allow follow-up and check-ins in ways that suit daily life. The format supports consistent progress through regular meetings and ongoing communication when needed.
