About Khadeeja
Khadeeja Mirza is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, low self-esteem, and parenting challenges. She also supports people facing career uncertainty, compassion fatigue, and codependency concerns.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions focus on talking through what’s happening now. She helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try different ways of responding, and track what works in daily life. Tools come from several practical approaches rather than a single method.
Khadeeja uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety or low mood. She draws on Motivational Interviewing when people want to build motivation for change. She also brings Psychodynamic ideas to help understand repeated relationship patterns that feel stuck.
In work with trauma and abuse she incorporates trauma-focused techniques to support safety and gradual healing. Solution-Focused Therapy is used for short-term goal setting and to sharpen immediate next steps. This mix aims to be pragmatic and readable, so people leave sessions with clear next actions.
She practices in California and offers services in English. Sessions are arranged through an online process where clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule their first appointment. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
