About Sepideh
Sepideh Pourhassani, LPC, works with adults and adolescents who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction, or other life challenges. She aims to make the first step feel manageable and practical. Her approach is direct and approachable, aimed at helping people find small, steady changes that improve daily life.
She has eight years of clinical experience in Tennessee, including work with people facing addiction and young people with emotional or behavioral difficulties. She has seen how trauma, grief, anxiety, and depression can affect many ages and backgrounds. That experience informs how she listens and plans care.
In sessions she focuses on clear, doable goals. She helps clients sort priorities, build coping skills, and address patterns that keep them stuck. She encourages self-care and small habits that add up over time. She also supports people navigating parenting challenges and adoption and foster care concerns.
Her style blends client-centered conversation with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used to help people clarify what matters and take action. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's readiness.
People who want a straightforward, empathetic therapist who offers practical steps may find this approach useful. She invites those ready to try counseling to begin with a short intake and build a plan that fits their life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on attentive listening and shaping sessions around what matters most to the client. It helps people feel heard and guides the pace of work based on their needs.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday problems because it points to specific steps people can practice between sessions.
Mindfulness therapy brings attention to present-moment experience and simple awareness skills. This can reduce reactivity, support emotion regulation, and complement other tools like CBT.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each client to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and readiness. That collaborative planning can be adjusted as work progresses.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the need to travel to appointments. Licensed professionals can use conversations, skill practice, and guided exercises in virtual sessions just as they do in person, while tailoring length and focus to match daily life.
