About Nadia
Nadia Maghsadi is an MD and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Maryland who helps people manage anxiety, stress, depression, and relationship concerns. She brings a warm, nonjudgmental approach and focuses on what each person needs right now. Her style is calm and direct, with an emphasis on practical steps people can use between sessions.
She draws on person-centered care to create a respectful space where people feel heard.
Background and approach
She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thoughts that feed worry and to build new habits that reduce distress. Narrative work helps clients rewrite harmful stories about themselves. Mindfulness practices and breathing exercises are offered when helpful to reduce immediate stress.
Maghsadi’s clinical background includes work in inpatient settings, juvenile detention, substance use treatment, domestic violence programs, and crisis helplines. That range informs a flexible, grounded way of working with trauma, addiction concerns, grief, and complicated family dynamics. She mentions her experience with sexual assault and abuse and supports people working through guilt, shame, and forgiveness.
Her perspective is shaped by her upbringing as the child of Middle Eastern immigrants, and she pays attention to cultural context in sessions. She also teaches yoga and sometimes integrates simple mindfulness and breath tools into counseling. Nadia has four years of professional experience as a clinician.
Sessions are offered in English and are available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability.
How Nadia’s Approaches Work Online
Nadia commonly blends person-centered care with cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness in online sessions. Person-centered work focuses on active listening, empathy, and letting clients set the pace so they feel understood. Cognitive behavioral work involves noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and practicing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and depression. Mindfulness in her sessions includes breathwork and simple exercises to lower immediate stress and improve focus.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Nadia will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as progress is made. The therapist aims to collaborate on which techniques feel most practical and comfortable for daily life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full sessions and hands-on guidance with breathing or mindfulness. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can be helpful for brief updates, homework support, or when someone prefers a written check-in. These options provide flexibility so therapy can fit work, family, and travel schedules.
