About Sepideh
Sepideh Pourhassani is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee. She works with adults and adolescents who are juggling stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, or changes that feel overwhelming. Sepideh aims to make the first step toward help feel clear and manageable.
She takes a straightforward, people-focused approach in sessions. Conversations start with what matters most to the client. Sepideh listens to daily struggles and practical barriers, then helps set small, doable goals to reduce distress and build skills.
Her background includes eight years of clinical experience helping people with trauma, depression, ADHD, and behavioral concerns. She has also worked with those facing parenting challenges, issues tied to adoption and foster care, and people coping with guilt, shame, or identity stressors. Case work has included addiction and substance concerns across age groups.
In therapy she blends client-centered work with evidence-informed tools. That means she follows the client’s lead while offering cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness exercises, motivational interviewing, and focused problem-solving when useful. Sessions aim to be practical and respectful of each person’s pace.
Many clients come wanting clearer boundaries, better communication, or relief from codependent patterns. Sepideh supports clients in noticing patterns, trying new responses, and tracking small changes over time. She encourages steps that fit daily life and personal values.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on following the client's lead and making space for their priorities. In practice this means the therapist listens, reflects, and helps the client name small, meaningful goals that feel relevant to day-to-day life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many patterns that cause repeated problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to try methods that fit their goals, values, and comfortable pace. That could mean combining client-centered listening with CBT exercises or using mindfulness practices to support emotion regulation. The plan can be adjusted as progress is tracked and needs change.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing sessions to happen from different locations. Some people find video helpful for face-to-face interaction, while others prefer phone check-ins or shorter sessions when time is tight. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the options available before booking. Online work aims to support real changes you can use between sessions, such as practicing skills, trying new behaviors, and checking in on what helped.
