About Mahsa
Mahsa Maghsoudi is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Kansas with ten years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She also supports people dealing with guilt and shame, attachment and abandonment concerns, and problems with communication or control.
Mahsa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people talk through what feels stuck. Sessions tend to focus on practical skills and clear steps rather than long explanations. Her approach aims to identify patterns, practice new ways of responding, and notice small changes that matter day to day.
Her training includes a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from the University of North Texas and a doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision from the University of Texas at San Antonio. She holds the LCPC credential and draws on both research and clinical experience when planning treatment.
In sessions she integrates methods such as cognitive behavioral work and trauma-informed strategies to address symptoms and coping skills. She pays attention to attachment and relational patterns that influence how people feel about themselves and others. Conversations often include role practice, thought work, and steps to reduce overwhelm.
Mahsa offers counseling in English and Persian. She does not accept international clients. Before booking, confirm current session options and formats to match scheduling needs.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Mahsa commonly uses cognitive behavioral ideas in her work, which involve identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and for interrupting guilt and shame cycles.She also applies trauma-informed methods that focus on understanding how past experiences affect current reactions. That work often includes grounding techniques, pacing, and learning ways to tolerate strong emotions without becoming overwhelmed.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. She will collaborate with clients to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and comfort level, adjusting methods as progress and preferences become clearer.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use therapy during lunch breaks or between other commitments. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and skill practice to work well in remote sessions, helping clients apply changes to everyday life.
