About Sepideh
Sepideh Pourhassani is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee with eight years of experience. She works with adults and adolescents who face anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, parenting strain, and challenges like ADHD and relationship stress. Sepideh also lists interests in adoption and foster care, attachment issues, codependency, and multicultural concerns.
She describes common patterns she sees: people get busy, put others first, or are stuck after painful events. In sessions she helps clients notice what is getting in the way and take small, concrete steps forward. The emphasis is on practical strategies rather than long lectures or theory talk.
Her approach blends client-centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness. She listens for what clients already do well and then helps them test new ways of coping. Motivational interviewing ideas are used when someone needs help finding internal reasons to change.
Sepideh often supports people facing grief, family problems, and substance issues by breaking problems into manageable pieces. She works with people on communication, controlling impulses, and reducing overwhelm with daily habits and thought work. Sessions include straightforward discussion, goal-setting, and skills practice.
To begin she asks people to complete a brief questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and use a cancelable subscription model. Sessions are offered in English and international clients can be considered.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what is said, and helps people clarify their goals and values. This approach works well when someone needs space to name priorities and feel heard.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It breaks problems into smaller parts and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and problematic habits like substance use.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. It helps people notice patterns of thought and respond more calmly to stressors rather than reacting automatically.
Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay useful and focused on real-life changes.
Confirm session formats before booking since they are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, shorten check-ins, avoid travel time, or use audio-only when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can use these options to help people apply skills between sessions and keep progress moving forward.
