About Nazanin

Nazanin Kavoussi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with Psychotherapy Privilege (LCSW-R) working in New York. She has ten years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship strain, self-esteem issues, and anger. She also supports people facing trauma, grief, sleep or eating difficulties, parenting stress, career decisions, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Nazanin uses a practical, task-focused style in sessions. She combines cognitive behavioral approaches with psychoeducation and mindfulness techniques. Conversations are geared toward skills you can use between sessions, such as thought reframing, grounding, and brief behavioral experiments.

Sessions typically involve tracking what works and what does not. She helps clients set small, achievable goals and checks progress from week to week. The work is collaborative: the client’s experience shapes which strategies are kept and which are adjusted.

Her background includes a decade of counseling people from varied socioeconomic backgrounds and different life stages. That experience informs how she frames interventions and explains why a simple practice might be useful for a particular problem. She focuses on real-world skills rather than abstract theory.

To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The service uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location. International clients are not accepted; sessions are conducted in English.

Online sessions and therapeutic approaches

Her stated methods include cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with experiments. They are often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and behavior change. Mindfulness work teaches brief attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and improve awareness of bodily cues that precede anger.

The right approach is usually figured out together. She will review your goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process means methods can shift over time until a workable mix is found.

Session logistics are not detailed in the biography, so confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in during a work break. They also let people practice skills in real-world settings and bring immediate concerns into conversation without needing to commute.
