About Nazeer
Dr. Nazeer Zerka II is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Indiana with nine years of clinical experience. He offers individual therapy and wellness coaching for people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, grief, and related issues.
He describes a direct, person-focused style. Sessions mix practical conversation and skills practice. He listens for how daily life, work, school, and cultural background affect coping. He also brings lived experience as a neurodivergent man of color into clinical work when relevant.
His approach draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Existential Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. That means sessions can include problem-focused strategies, thought-and-behavior work, emotion regulation skills, and attention to personal meaning.
He notes experience helping people with ADHD, autism and Asperger syndrome, abandonment and attachment issues, codependency and control issues, substance use concerns, eating and sleeping problems, and anger. He also lists support for career matters, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes.
Outside of clinical work he hosts a podcast and keeps active with basketball, weightlifting, yoga, and reading. His stated aim is practical improvement in daily functioning, relationships, and self-understanding, delivered with a sense of humor when appropriate.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and collaboration. The therapist follows the person’s lead and helps clarify goals and values, which can help with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and decisions about life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and problems with sleep or eating by teaching concrete strategies to change habits and thought patterns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation and interpersonal skills. It is useful when emotional reactions feel overwhelming or when stress affects relationships and daily functioning.
Finding the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. That collaborative decision-making helps shape whether sessions emphasize skill practice, thought work, or exploration of meaning.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In practice, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work or family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove commuting time. Talk with the therapist during the matching process about how to structure sessions so they fit your everyday life.
