About Mahroo
Mahroo Moshari, LCSW, centers her practice on collaborative, evidence-informed work that helps clients build self-awareness, problem-solving skills, and healthier relationships.
Background and approach
Based in New York with two decades of clinical experience, she blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered and emotionally focused ideas to address issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, ADHD, and stress. Her practice emphasizes practical coping strategies and clear communication skills to reduce negative thinking patterns and support emotional regulation.
She has extensive experience with youth and family concerns and maintains a multicultural perspective that respects diverse cultural backgrounds and experiences of acculturation. Mahroo pays attention to how cultural stigma or invalidation can affect self-esteem, identity, and social anxiety, and she shapes sessions to validate clients’ feelings while teaching concrete tools for daily life.
Her work also covers parenting and blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, career challenges, intimacy and relationship difficulties, and complex mood concerns including bipolar disorder. Mahroo approaches therapy with warmth, respect, and humor, creating collaborative treatment plans tailored to each person’s goals and context.
She offers services in English, Italian, and Persian and focuses on helping clients make practical changes that improve mental alertness, emotional security, and social functioning.
Online approaches grounded in evidence and collaboration
Mahroo commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Client-Centered Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill-building, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and the client’s own resources to support growth and greater self-understanding, which is useful for self-esteem, identity concerns, and relationship issues.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Mahroo approaches that decision collaboratively. She discusses goals, preferences, and life context with each person and adjusts methods as needed, combining structured tools with empathic listening so treatment matches evolving needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options allow scheduling around work, family, or caregiving responsibilities and make it possible to use therapeutic tools and homework between sessions. The variety of formats supports continuity of care and lets clients and therapist choose what works best for the issues at hand.
