Mahroo Moshari, LCSW

Mahroo Moshari is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with 20 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, parenting stresses, grief, and identity concerns. Sessions are offered in English, Italian, and Persian.

Mahroo uses a multicultural lens in her work. She pays attention to cultural background, immigration and acculturation pressures, and how stigma can mute feelings. She helps people who grew up in collectivist or individualist environments notice patterns that no longer serve them.

Her practical focus is on building self-awareness and concrete coping skills. Clients learn problem-solving tools and ways to manage negative thoughts and emotional reactions. Communication skills are practiced so tense interactions become clearer and less reactive.

Mahroo draws on several approaches, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and emotion-focused ideas. She adapts methods to the person in front of her rather than following a single formula. Humor and straightforward talk are used alongside reflective exercises.

She has particular experience supporting parents and caregivers, young people transitioning through life changes, and those dealing with trauma or long-term stress. Sessions emphasize small, manageable steps toward steadier moods, better sleep, and improved day-to-day functioning.

To begin, Mahroo asks clients to identify concrete goals they want to work on. From there she helps create practical strategies and measurable steps. Her aim is to increase emotional clarity and more effective relationships over time.
