About Azita

Azita Azizi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California who brings nine years of clinical experience to work with people navigating stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges including postpartum depression, and career and life transitions.

Background and approach

She emphasizes practical coping strategies and supports clients facing compassion fatigue, anger, self-esteem concerns, family issues, and other major life changes. Her style blends a client-centered stance with solution-focused work and narrative exploration, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

Azita frames therapy as a collaborative, strengths-based process that invites honest reflection and active problem solving. She aims to help clients identify realistic goals, build resilience, and apply new skills to daily life.

Azita values warmth and empathy while maintaining a focused approach that aligns with each person's needs. She continues to refine her practice to offer thoughtful, evidence-informed support and guides clients through change with practical interventions and compassionate encouragement.

Approaches for Change in Online Therapy

Azita commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online work. CBT is focused on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill-building, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so clients feel heard and supported while exploring goals and values.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Azita treats selection of methods as a collaborative decision. She works with clients to match techniques to their specific needs, preferences, and goals, adjusting the balance of skill-building and reflective work as progress unfolds.

Online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it possible to fit therapy into varied schedules and life situations. These options offer flexibility for regular check-ins, focused skills practice, or ongoing reflective work while keeping the therapeutic relationship central and adaptable to each person's routine.
