Nazanin Kavoussi

Nazanin Kavoussi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with Psychotherapy Privilege (LCSW-R) based in New York. She brings ten years of clinical experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, anger, and relationship concerns. Her language of work is English. She does not work with international clients at this time.

She shapes each plan around what the person in front of her needs. Sessions focus on clear goals, practical skills, and pacing that feels manageable. Conversations include education about behavioral patterns and hands-on tools to try between meetings.

Nazanin mixes cognitive behavioral approaches with mindfulness and psycho-education. That means identifying unhelpful thinking, practicing calmer responses, and learning how daily habits affect mood and behavior. These methods are commonly used for problems such as addictive behavior, anxiety, sleep struggles, and anger management.

Her background includes a decade of counseling people from varied backgrounds on issues like motivation, self-esteem, grief, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue. She emphasizes small, realistic steps that build confidence and reduce overwhelm. Progress is tracked in ways that make sense for each person.

Reaching out for help is often the hardest part, and she frames therapy as a collaborative effort. If someone is ready to begin, Nazanin supports them in setting goals, learning tools, and working toward clearer day-to-day functioning.

Approaches for managing emotions and behavior online

She commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness in her work. Cognitive behavioral techniques involve identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and acting; they are useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and addictive behaviors. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of triggers, which can help with stress, sleep, and emotional regulation.

She also offers psycho-education, which means explaining how habits, sleep, and coping strategies affect mood and behavior. Learning practical information can make emotional responses easier to manage and gives clear steps to practice between sessions. The therapist will work together with each client to decide which mix of approaches feels like the best fit based on goals and day-to-day needs.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in this biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, remove commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people practice tools in their usual environment and then discuss what did or did not work in the next meeting.
