About Mahroo

Mahroo Moshari is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in New York with 20 years of experience. She focuses on family and parenting concerns, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and life transitions. She speaks English, Italian, and Persian and works with people from diverse cultural backgrounds.

She uses a multicultural lens in her work and pays attention to how culture and faith shape how people understand their feelings. In sessions she helps clients notice patterns, name feelings, and learn practical coping skills. She also supports people dealing with identity confusion, acculturation stress, and difficulties that come from cultural stigma.

Her approach draws from client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused ideas, existential questions, and motivational interviewing. That means sessions can include talking through immediate problems, testing unhelpful thoughts, and practicing clearer communication with important people. The focus is on concrete skills like problem-solving and self-awareness rather than abstract theory.

She often addresses parenting stress, blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver strain, and common mood challenges such as bipolar mood swings or disruptive mood dysregulation symptoms. Work can also focus on relationship communication, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, anger, and career-related stress.

Clients can expect a practical, straightforward style. The therapist aims to build mutual respect and use humor when helpful. To begin, readers should follow the site's process for matching and scheduling a first session.

BHow sessions work

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and helping clients reflect on their feelings. Online sessions using this approach often involve open conversation, clarifying priorities, and setting small, practical goals to improve daily routines.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online sessions CBT can include identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying new behaviors between meetings, and reviewing what worked or didn’t in real life.

Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) centers on emotions in close relationships. Online EFT sessions can help people map interaction patterns and practice new ways of responding during real conversations.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods to use. That decision is collaborative and may change as problems and priorities become clearer.

Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people meet from wherever they have a quieter setting. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and communication to suit remote sessions so progress continues between meetings.
