About Mahroo

Mahroo Moshari is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in New York with 20 years of experience. She focuses on practical, respectful care that helps people address stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship and parenting concerns. Her writing and demeanor aim to make therapy feel doable even when life feels overwhelming.

She blends Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and other approaches to match each person's needs. Sessions work on clearer thinking, better communication, and hands-on coping skills. Mahroo helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts and shift them to choices that feel more manageable.

Moshari has long experience supporting people through grief, trauma, and life transitions. She also helps with intimacy-related concerns, sleeping problems, anger, and career changes. Adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, and challenges tied to cultural or immigration issues are among her areas of focus.

Her work emphasizes practical tools such as problem-solving strategies, communication techniques, and ways to build self-awareness. She uses motivation and narrative approaches to clarify values and goals. The therapist aims to create trust and respect, and she brings steady, straightforward guidance to each session.

Mahroo speaks English, Italian, and Persian. She practices in New York and draws on two decades of experience to support people aiming to reduce anxiety, manage mood concerns, and strengthen relationships.

How Mahroo's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship so people feel heard and able to set their own goals. This approach helps when someone needs support with identity, self-esteem, or parenting concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines unhelpful thinking and teaches concrete skills to manage anxiety, mood, and sleeping problems. That makes sessions practical and goal oriented for day-to-day challenges. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name emotional patterns that affect relationships and intimacy, guiding clearer communication and deeper connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to try based on symptoms, goals, and personal style. Sessions often mix techniques so tools are tailored to the person's needs rather than following a single rigid plan.

Confirm current session formats before booking to know what online options are available. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, or remove the need to travel. Online work can still focus on skill-building, homework, and communication practice so progress continues between meetings.
