About Nazanin
Nazanin Kavoussi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with psychotherapy privilege (LCSW-R) based in New York. She has ten years of clinical experience helping people who are stressed, anxious, struggling with substance use, or coping with depression and low self-esteem. She keeps sessions practical and focused on the client's immediate needs.
Conversations aim to clarify what feels most urgent, set small goals, and practice skills that can be used between meetings.
Background and approach
Expect direct guidance, teachable strategies, and time to reflect on progress. Nazanin blends cognitive behavioral ideas with psycho-education and mindfulness. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, learn new ways to respond, and try brief exercises to calm the body and mind.
These methods are offered in plain language and with specific, usable steps. Her work includes support for relationship concerns, parenting challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues related to identity and intimacy. She also addresses sleep problems, eating concerns, anger, career stress, and compassion fatigue.
Clients working through life transitions or managing ADHD can expect structured, goal-oriented sessions. Sessions are available via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Getting started involves completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits your life.
Nazanin emphasizes collaboration, respect, and steady progress as you work toward change.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
She commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT often involves short, focused exercises and homework that target symptoms like anxiety, depression, or difficulty managing impulses.She also incorporates mindfulness practices to reduce stress and increase present-moment awareness. Mindfulness work includes brief breathing or attention exercises that are easy to try between sessions and can help with sleep, anger, and emotional reactivity.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, comfort level, and daily routine. Treatment plans are adjusted over time based on what is most helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls let you use visual cues and longer conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a hands-free option is better. Live chat or text-based messaging can provide shorter check-ins, on-the-go support, or supplemental follow-up between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for people balancing work, parenting, and life changes.
