Mir Ali, LPCC

Mir Ali is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in California with six years of experience. He works with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and LGBTQ concerns. He also lists ADHD and areas such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, and guilt and shame among his focuses.

Mir describes therapy as a collaborative process where the client brings knowledge of their own life. He centers sessions on what the client already knows and on practical steps they can try between meetings. Conversations are straightforward and aim to clarify what feels stuck or overwhelming.

Mir uses a mix of approaches to match the work at hand. He draws from cognitive behavioral ideas to notice patterns in thinking and behavior. He also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people name their values and test small actions that align with them.

When attachment or relationship wounds are present, Mir uses attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationships shape current reactions. He also uses client-centered methods to keep the client’s experience central in planning next steps. Dialectical behavior therapy skills may be introduced to manage strong emotions and impulses.

Sessions focus on specific concerns such as handling guilt and shame, navigating identity and LGBTQ stressors, reducing anxiety, and coping after trauma. Mir invites practical goals and short-term experiments so people can notice whether new ways of responding feel helpful.
