Sepideh Pourhassani , LPC

Sepideh Pourhassani is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee who brings experience supporting both adults and young people through complex emotional and behavioral challenges. She has worked extensively with individuals facing addiction as well as children and adolescents experiencing emotional and behavioral difficulties, and she has observed that issues such as trauma, anxiety, depression, and grief commonly affect people across the lifespan.

Her approach is rooted in partnering with clients from diverse backgrounds to navigate obstacles and build toward meaningful change. She emphasizes a compassionate, respectful environment that encourages growth and healing while helping clients identify practical steps to improve their daily lives. Sepideh aims to support people who have found it difficult to prioritize their own needs amid busy schedules or competing life demands.

Believing that counseling can be the first step toward greater self-understanding and fulfillment, she invites individuals to take that step and explore ways to increase life satisfaction and personal well-being. Her work focuses on empowering clients to regain a sense of control and move toward their goals at a pace that fits their lives.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care

Sepideh draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness therapy to guide her online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration - it helps people explore their values and build self-direction while feeling heard and respected. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors - it is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and addictive patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance skills that can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can be helpful for trauma responses, anger, and impulsivity.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sepideh works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps tailor care to individual circumstances and cultural context.

Online therapy with Sepideh offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, accommodate different communication styles, and maintain continuity of care across distances while working with licensed professionals and therapists committed to effective support.
