Nazanin Kavoussi , LCSW-R

Nazanin Kavoussi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with Psychotherapy Privilege (LCSW-R) and a Credentialed Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselor - Advanced Level (CASAC Advanced Level) in New York State. With 10 years of clinical experience, she has worked with individuals across the lifespan and from varied socio-economic backgrounds to address a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, substance dependencies, relationship challenges, stress management, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.

Her clinical style is individualized and practical. She blends cognitive behavioral techniques - which identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns - with psycho-education that explains how symptoms develop and respond to treatment, and mindfulness practices that build present-moment awareness and coping skills. Nazanin adapts conversations and treatment plans to meet each person’s specific needs and life circumstances rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.

Reaching out for support is a significant step, and she strives to create a supportive, goal-oriented space that empowers clients to pursue a more fulfilling and balanced life. Nazanin aims to collaborate with people who are ready to explore change and build sustainable coping strategies.

Evidence-Based Techniques Delivered Online

Nazanin uses several evidence-based methods that translate well to remote care. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Psycho-education provides clear information about how symptoms develop and what practical strategies can reduce their impact, helping clients feel more informed and empowered. Mindfulness-based practices cultivate present-moment awareness and acceptance, supporting emotion regulation and stress management.

Determining which approach fits best is part of the therapeutic process. Nazanin works collaboratively with each person to explore goals, preferences, and life context, and she adjusts techniques over time so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which helps people fit care into busy schedules, manage mobility or geographic constraints, and maintain continuity during life transitions. Licensed professionals can use these options to provide consistent, evidence-informed support tailored to individual needs.
