About Sepideh

Sepideh Pourhassani is a licensed professional counselor based in Tennessee who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She has eight years of clinical experience working with adolescents and adults facing emotional and behavioral challenges, and she approaches each person with curiosity and respect. Sepideh encourages clients to begin where they are, helping them identify priorities and practical steps toward healthier patterns and greater well-being.

Her practice emphasizes collaborative work that honors individual differences and cultural context. She draws on client-centered principles to create a supportive therapeutic relationship, and she integrates practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to address symptoms like anxiety, depression, compulsive behaviors, and difficulties with self-esteem.

Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are also used to build motivation and set concrete goals when appropriate. Sepideh invites clients to take the first step toward change and partners with them to turn insight into action.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Sepideh often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and then develop practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, or compulsive behaviors. She also incorporates client-centered therapy, prioritizing a respectful, empathic relationship that helps people feel heard and understood while they explore change. Mindfulness techniques are used alongside these methods to increase present-moment awareness and improve emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting methods over time so the work stays relevant and useful. Clients are invited to experiment with strategies and provide feedback so the plan evolves according to what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules or access care from different locations. These formats support ongoing skill-building, real-time problem solving, and convenient check-ins, allowing licensed professionals to provide consistent therapeutic support across sessions.
