About Nazanin

Licensed Clinical Social Worker with Psychotherapy Privilege (LCSW-R) in New York with 10 years of experience, Nazanin Kavoussi helps people address stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, and mood concerns. She also supports those dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping issues, parenting strain, career questions, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Sessions and work are conducted in English in New York.

Nazanin frames therapy around what each person needs. She adapts conversations and plans to fit the specific problem a person brings. Her stated methods combine cognitive behavioral techniques, psycho-education, and mindfulness practices. These approaches are used to build practical skills, change unhelpful thinking, and add brief grounding strategies.

In session she focuses on clear steps and skills rather than abstract theory. People can expect discussions about specific behaviors and thoughts, learning tools to manage symptoms, and strategies to improve relationships and daily routines. She also integrates education about substance use when relevant to recovery and relapse prevention.

Nazanin’s background includes more than a decade working with people from varied socioeconomic backgrounds. Her listed credential is LCSW-R, which denotes Licensed Clinical Social Worker with Psychotherapy Privilege in New York. That credential is used as the basis for her clinical practice in the state.

Practical matters follow a straightforward process: prospective clients complete a matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and services use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted.

How Nazanin Uses Evidence-Based Techniques Online

Her stated approaches include cognitive behavioral techniques, which focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. These methods are commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and managing mood swings.

She also uses psycho-education to explain how symptoms, substances, and behaviors interact. That involves teaching practical information about coping skills, relapse prevention for substance use, and strategies to improve sleep and daily routines.

Mindfulness practices are another element she cites, used to introduce simple attention and grounding exercises. These help reduce immediate distress and build moment-to-moment awareness that supports other skills work.

Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This is an active process that may shift over time as progress is reviewed.

Confirm what session formats she currently offers before booking. If online sessions are available, common practical benefits include fitting appointments into a busy day, shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and avoiding travel time. These features can make it easier to maintain regular work on stress, mood, and recovery goals.
