About Mahroo

Mahroo Moshari is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) based in New York with 20 years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, parenting concerns, relationship difficulties, and family patterns that affect day-to-day life. Sessions are offered in English, Italian, and Persian.

Mahroo draws on several therapeutic approaches to help people recognize recurring patterns from their family of origin. She focuses on building self-awareness and practical coping skills. In sessions she addresses communication problems, role expectations from childhood, and how those patterns influence current relationships and parenting.

Her work includes helping people manage grief, stress, sleep disturbance, and mood concerns like bipolar disorder. She also supports those dealing with ADHD symptoms, compassion fatigue, and career-related stress. Adoption and foster care questions and blended family dynamics are part of her background.

Mahroo uses Client-Centered methods to listen and reflect what matters most to the client. She applies Cognitive Behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns. Emotionally-Focused ideas help when the core issue is closeness or attachment in relationships.

Her approach is practical and straightforward. Clients learn problem-solving steps and communication strategies to reduce conflict and increase clarity. The aim is to help people make decisions that feel more authentic and manageable.

People who choose her often want a therapist who understands cultural differences and the pressures of growing up between different expectations. She asks about each person’s history and current goals, then works with them to set clear, achievable steps.

How her approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflection. It helps people clarify what matters to them and identify personal goals by centering the client’s perspective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches clear techniques to change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions and attachment needs and can help with intimacy and relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review the client’s goals, concerns, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. Decisions about approach and techniques are made together and adjusted as progress is tracked.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce commute time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules require them. Licensed professionals, including this therapist, can use these sessions to teach practical skills, run thought-restructuring exercises, and practice communication techniques that translate into everyday life.
