About Mahroo

Mahroo Moshari is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in New York who blends client-centered care with evidence-based techniques to help people navigate emotional and relational challenges.

Background and approach

With 20 years of experience, she emphasizes cultural sensitivity and a multicultural perspective that honors family background, faith, and the varied experiences of immigrants and people raised in individualistic or collectivist environments. Mahroo draws from approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and emotionally-focused methods to build self-awareness, improve communication, and create practical coping strategies.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship and family difficulties, trauma, grief, bipolar mood concerns, and ADHD. She also works with issues tied to adoption and foster care, aging and caregiver stress, identity and acculturation struggles, and behavioral or personality-related patterns.

Clients can expect a tailored blend of problem-solving skills, motivational interviewing, and narrative work aimed at harmonizing relationships and reducing distress. Sessions are offered in English, Italian, and Persian and are designed to be collaborative, respectful, and occasionally lightened with humor while maintaining focus on concrete goals.

Mahroo seeks to help people move from feeling powerless toward greater emotional resilience and healthier interpersonal connections.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client's own priorities guide the work; this approach helps people gain self-awareness, clarify values, and build skills for everyday challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on patterns in close relationships and helps people improve emotional connection and communication, which can be beneficial for intimacy-related issues and family dynamics.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to explore what methods match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting techniques over time as needs evolve. This collaborative stance helps ensure work feels relevant and doable.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to access licensed professionals from home or while traveling. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and use different formats for check-ins, skill practice, or longer therapeutic work.
