Bushra Alsafari

Bushra Alsafari is a licensed clinical social worker with eight years of professional experience based in Michigan. She holds a Master of Social Work and approaches sessions with a calm, straightforward style. Bushra invites people to start conversations about stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, anger, and self-esteem concerns. She creates a welcoming space where people can talk through thoughts and feelings without feeling judged. She emphasizes mindfulness and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas are also used when someone wants clear, goal-oriented steps. Sessions are practical and paced to the person’s needs. Bushra helps people break big worries into smaller, manageable tasks. She often teaches short skills to reduce reactivity and build confidence over time. Her work includes support for grief, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, career stress, bipolar mood concerns, and coping with life changes. She listens first, then collaborates on a plan tailored to each person’s goals. Progress is tracked in simple, realistic steps. Taking the first step can feel hard, and Bushra aims to make that step easier. She meets people where they are and helps them find clearer ways to cope and move forward.

How her approaches work for online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s priorities, then shaping sessions around what matters most. This helps people feel heard and supported while they decide what to work on. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches simple, practical tools to test new ways of reacting and thinking. It often helps with anxiety, depression, anger, and stress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together as needs change.

Confirm the current online session options before booking so you know how meetings are scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and support follow-up between meetings. Some people prefer shorter check-ins or audio-only conversations when video is harder to manage, while others like a fuller session with visual cues. Talk with the therapist about what format and pacing would work best for your routine.
