About Khadeeja
Khadeeja Mirza is a licensed clinical social worker in California who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She also supports those coping with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and addiction concerns. Her work includes practical help for parenting strain, career stress, and compassion fatigue.
She keeps the room straightforward and warm. Sessions are collaborative and focused on small, workable steps. Khadeeja listens first, then helps people notice patterns in thinking and behavior that keep problems active.
Background and approach
Her methods draw from several approaches to help match what a person needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break down unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also uses motivational interviewing to increase readiness for change and solution-focused techniques to set clear short-term goals.
Khadeeja brings nine years of experience as an LCSW, which she uses to guide practical problem solving and emotional processing. She pays attention to cultural and life-context issues, including immigration, adoption and foster care, and multicultural concerns. People often come for help with mood disorders, bipolar concerns, grief, codependency, or difficulties around communication and control.
Sessions aim to build skills that can be used between meetings and to make daily life feel more manageable. Work is offered in English and delivered online through a mix of formats. The first steps are a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a time that fits each person.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Khadeeja uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and mood symptoms by teaching concrete coping skills. Motivational Interviewing is another tool she uses to build motivation for change, especially when someone feels stuck or uncertain about next steps. Each approach targets practical steps people can try between sessions to test out change.Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest methods that fit those aims. That collaboration helps create a plan that feels realistic and focused on what the person wants to accomplish.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone calls can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat allow brief check-ins or reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to keep continuity when life is busy and to use the format that best supports regular progress.
