Mahroo Moshari

Mahroo Moshari is an LCSW based in New York with 20 years of clinical experience. She emphasizes culturally aware care and helps people strengthen self-esteem, manage strong emotions, and navigate parenting and family concerns.

Her work centers on understanding each person's background and everyday struggles. She encourages practical steps that build self-awareness and problem-solving skills. Sessions focus on improving communication, easing anxiety and depression, and addressing anger and stress in daily life.

Mahroo has long experience with youth and family-related concerns and supports people who face identity confusion, acculturation stress, or cultural stigma around emotions. She draws from several therapeutic approaches and adapts interventions to match each client's needs and values. This flexibility helps when concerns range from sleeping problems and grief to ADHD and bipolar mood challenges.

Clients can expect straightforward tools for coping, strategies to challenge negative thoughts, and practice in clearer communication. Mahroo aims to create mutual respect and trust while using warmth and, when appropriate, humor to ease difficult conversations.

Her practice also addresses career questions, caregiving stress, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related problems. People who prefer therapy in English, Italian, or Persian may find language options useful. For session options and scheduling, confirm current formats before booking.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience. It emphasizes understanding, empathy, and collaboration to help people feel heard and to clarify their goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers concrete tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. It is useful for anxiety, anger, sleep problems, and mood issues by teaching practical coping strategies and skills practice.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name emotional patterns that affect relationships and intimacy. It supports improving emotional connection and communication in close relationships.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted as needs evolve.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving, or busy schedules, and can reduce travel time. It also allows for focused check-ins or longer problem-solving sessions depending on what the client needs.
