Mahroo Moshari, LCSW

Mahroo Moshari is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 20 years of experience. She works with adults and young people who face anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship strains, codependency, and the stress of life changes. Sessions are offered in English, Italian, and Persian.

She frames therapy around practical skills. Clients learn to notice unhelpful thoughts and practice strategies to manage them. She emphasizes clearer communication so relationships feel less chaotic and more manageable. Work may include learning problem-solving steps and ways to handle anger, sleep disruption, or panic symptoms.

Mahroo draws on several approaches to fit what each person needs. Expect client-centered conversations that focus on the client's perspective, cognitive behavioral techniques to change thinking patterns, and emotionally-focused ideas to address connection and intimacy issues. She blends these methods rather than using a single technique.

Her background includes extensive experience with youth and families and cross-cultural work with people from individualistic and collectivist cultures. She often supports people dealing with identity confusion, immigration and acculturation stress, and the fallout when feelings were minimized because of cultural stigma.

In sessions she works on concrete goals - building self-awareness, shaping coping skills, and improving communication. Humor is part of how she works, and she aims for practical steps clients can use between appointments. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
