Mahroo Moshari, LCSW

Mahroo Moshari, LCSW, centers her work on helping people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and everyday habits that get in the way of feeling better. She draws on 20 years of experience in New York to help clients build self-awareness, learn practical coping skills, and improve communication with the people who matter to them. Her manner is warm and direct, and she emphasizes trust and mutual respect in sessions.

Mahroo takes a culturally aware, client-centered approach. She tailors sessions to each person's background and life story, and she pays attention to how culture affects self-esteem, identity, and social concerns. She often helps people who report anxiety, depression, panic, low self-worth, or difficulty adjusting to life changes.

Sessions focus on clear, teachable skills. Clients learn problem-solving steps, ways to notice negative thinking, and strategies to shift daily habits that maintain stress. Therapy also covers relationship skills like clearer communication and managing intimacy-related concerns.

Her experience includes work with youth and adults across a range of family and parenting issues, trauma, grief, caregiving stress, and mood conditions. Mahroo combines elements from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and motivational methods to meet practical goals without jargon.

Mahroo offers counseling in English, Italian, and Persian. She holds a New York LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) and brings two decades of practice to each session.

How her approaches translate to online support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and meeting them with respect and nonjudgmental listening. It helps people feel heard and become clearer about their goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches simple tools to change patterns that cause anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name, express, and respond to emotions in ways that improve close relationships and reduce repeated conflicts.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each client to find methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. This is an ongoing conversation rather than a one-time decision, and adjustments are made as progress and challenges appear.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments around work or caregiving. It can also support shorter check-ins when a quick problem-solving session is needed, or allow quieter conversations when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Licensed professionals aim to adapt their approach so therapy fits into everyday routines and helps clients practice new habits between sessions.
