About Sepideh

Sepideh Pourhassani is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee who focuses on parenting concerns and related stressors. She works with adults and adolescents on issues such as addiction, anxiety, depression, and behavioral challenges. Her style is straightforward and practical, aimed at helping parents and caregivers find workable steps forward.

She offers a calm space to talk through what feels overwhelming. Sessions often start by identifying one or two concrete goals.

Background and approach

Then she and the client pick small, achievable steps to practice between meetings. This makes progress easier to notice and maintain. Sepideh uses approaches like client-centered care, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness tools to reduce stress and manage difficult emotions.

She also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods when clients want clear plans for change. Those tools are woven into conversation rather than delivered as rigid programs. Her background includes eight years of clinical experience working with addiction, trauma, mood concerns, and parenting-related difficulties.

She has worked with people facing attachment and adoption issues, codependency, and communication problems. That experience helps her recognize patterns that cause repeated conflict or burnout. Sessions are offered in English and can address multicultural concerns, veteran-related issues, and challenges tied to prejudice or discrimination.

The emphasis is on practical coping, improving self-care, and helping clients rebuild energy for the day-to-day tasks of parenting and life.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Sepideh commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's perspective, helping them feel heard as they figure out priorities and next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and introduces practical skills to change them.

She also uses mindfulness techniques to help manage stress and strong emotions. Mindfulness practices are simple exercises to notice breathing, bodily tension, and present-moment experience, which can reduce reactivity and improve concentration. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a team effort - the therapist will work with the client to test methods and adjust based on the client's goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful in practice.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options provide flexibility to fit therapy into busy parenting schedules and changing routines.
