About Sepideh

Sepideh Pourhassani is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with eight years of experience. She works with adults and adolescents on issues like addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, and anger. Sepideh speaks English and accepts international clients.

She has worked with people who face emotional and behavioral difficulties at different ages. That background shapes how she notices patterns tied to trauma, grief, and stress. Sessions focus on straightforward steps clients can take to reduce distress and regain control over day-to-day reactions.

Her approach blends practical strategies and listening. She uses methods that help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also supports motivation for change and uses brief goal-focused conversations when that fits the client’s needs.

Clients who are juggling work, parenting, or recovery often come with limited time and lots of pressure. Sepideh aims to break problems into manageable pieces. She helps people set small goals, practice new responses to triggers, and track progress between meetings.

People seeking to manage anger - whether it shows up at work, at home, or in relationships - can expect clear guidance on recognizing triggers and rehearsing alternatives. The emphasis is on practical skills, short-term problem solving, and steady steps forward. To begin, clients fill out a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can make their own choices; online sessions use that same conversational style to help people clarify goals and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors; it works well for anger, anxiety, and mood concerns by breaking problems into steps and assigning short practice tasks. Mindfulness Therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and simple breathing or attention exercises that reduce reactivity and help with stress and impulsivity.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try a few strategies, and adjust the plan based on what feels most useful. Expect a mix of talking, short skill practices, and agreed-upon tasks between sessions to track progress.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy lives - they can be easier to schedule around work, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins when needed. Discuss scheduling preferences and practical needs during the initial matching questionnaire and first meeting to make therapy fit everyday routines.
