About Sepideh
Sepideh Pourhassani is an LPC who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, and everyday struggles. She works with adults and adolescents and focuses on practical steps people can take to feel better. Her style is supportive and straightforward, aimed at helping people take the first step toward change.
She believes life can get busy and self-care often falls behind. Sepideh emphasizes small, realistic changes that fit into daily life. Sessions focus on clarifying goals, building skills, and finding what works for each person.
Her background includes eight years of clinical experience in Tennessee supporting people with trauma, depression, grief, and behavior concerns. She has worked with people facing addiction and with children and adolescents who have emotional or behavioral difficulties. This range informs her approach to common problems across ages.
Sepideh uses approaches drawn from client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, solution-focused work, and trauma-focused strategies. She tailors these tools to each person rather than using the same plan for everyone. Expect a collaborative process where the client sets goals and the therapist guides skill-building.
People often come for help with parenting strain, relationship problems, self-esteem, ADHD, and problems with anger or communication. She also addresses adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, substance use, and multicultural or veteran-related matters. The aim is to help people make steady progress and feel more confident in daily life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Motivational Interviewing helps people resolve mixed feelings about change by exploring personal reasons and building motivation. It can support people dealing with addiction, ambivalence about treatment, or stages of change. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting people where they are so they can explore concerns at their own pace and feel understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. This is a shared process that can change over time as needs evolve.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce time spent traveling, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use skills in real-life settings between sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt motivational, client-centered, and CBT techniques to an online setting while helping clients build practical routines and coping strategies. -
