About Nazanin
Nazanin Kavoussi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with Psychotherapy Privilege (LCSW-R) in New York and has over 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on problems like depression, anxiety, substance dependencies, stress, and anger. She also addresses relationship strain, low self-esteem, motivation, and sleep or eating concerns.
Nazanin uses practical, evidence-based techniques in sessions. Her work combines cognitive behavioral methods with psycho-education and mindfulness practices. She focuses on clear goals and concrete strategies rather than vague theory. Sessions aim to help people notice patterns, try different responses, and build small habits that change day-to-day behavior.
Her background includes counseling people from varied socioeconomic backgrounds and with a wide range of concerns. That experience informs a straightforward style that balances skill teaching with conversational problem-solving. She draws on her CASAC advanced level experience when working with substance use issues while keeping the session focused on the client’s goals.
Clients can expect direct feedback, practical tools for managing stress and anger, and in-session practice of techniques such as thought restructuring and mindfulness exercises. Nazanin often uses brief educational pieces to clarify how certain behaviors and thoughts are connected. The process emphasizes learning and doing, not only talking.
She asks new clients to start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Payment is handled through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, with fees that vary by location.
How sessions work
Therapeutic methods and online sessions
She works with well-established techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and on building practical skills. Cognitive behavioral approaches help identify thought patterns that increase anger or anxiety and teach different ways to respond. These methods are useful for workplace frustration, interpersonal arguments, and persistent rumination.She also uses mindfulness practices to help people notice bodily and mental signals before they escalate. Mindfulness work is brief and exercise-based, intended to improve moment-to-moment awareness and reduce reactive responding in high-stress moments.
Choosing the right method is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick approaches that fit their goals and daily life. That process includes trying skills in session, reviewing how they felt, and adjusting the plan together based on what helps.
Practical benefits of online sessions include easier scheduling and the ability to bring counseling into a weekday break or a quieter hour at home. The therapist’s current session formats are not specified here, so confirm the exact online and in-person options before booking. Online work can make short check-ins, focused skills practice, and homework review simpler to fit into a busy routine.
