About Mahsa
Mahsa Maghsoudi is a licensed clinical professional counselor with ten years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She focuses on depression, grief, relationship concerns, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Mahsa speaks English and Persian and practices from Kansas.
Her approach is practical and straightforward. Sessions aim to identify immediate coping skills and clearer ways to handle strong emotions. She listens for patterns that feed anxiety, low mood, and repeating relationship problems, then works with clients to try different strategies.
Background and approach
Mahsa draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. She helps people learn new skills for managing overwhelming feelings and improving communication. Work may include practicing ways to change unhelpful thoughts and building steady routines for mood regulation.
She also supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment worries, body image distress, caregiver strain, and challenges tied to control, guilt, or impulsivity. Conversations often focus on concrete steps clients can try between sessions to test what helps. For those facing divorce, financial stress, loneliness, or questions about life purpose, she offers a calm, nonjudgmental space to sort priorities and next steps.
Clients who want short check-ins or ongoing weekly work can find a rhythm that fits their life. Mahsa’s training includes a master’s degree in mental health counseling and a doctorate in counselor education and supervision. She uses that background to tailor care to each person’s needs and goals.
How evidence-based techniques work online
Mahsa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills people can practice between sessions. One common approach involves identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns to reduce anxiety and improve mood; this uses short exercises and real-life experiments to test new ways of thinking. Another approach emphasizes building emotion regulation and coping skills so strong feelings feel more manageable; sessions often include step-by-step practice and homework to reinforce new habits.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they’ll try strategies, note what helps, and adjust the plan over time rather than assuming a single method will fit everyone.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and ongoing text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for brief check-ins, and messaging supports quick reflections or continuing work between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping regular contact with a licensed professional.
