About SM
SM Noorahmed Siddiquee, LPC is a licensed counselor in Texas with three years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem and depression. He also supports people dealing with relationship difficulties, guilt and shame, and problems like isolation or substance use.
In sessions he favors clear, straightforward conversation. He listens without judging and helps people name what is happening. He uses practical strategies and gentle questioning to break large problems into manageable steps.
His approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to the person in front of him. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on recognizing patterns of thinking and changing behaviors that keep problems alive. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are included when people need help with intense emotions and impulse control.
Noorahmed also uses elements of Motivational Interviewing to strengthen motivation for change. Existential ideas appear when clients want to look at meaning, values, and life choices. Together these tools guide practical next steps rather than abstract theory.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. He helps people build small habits that make everyday life more manageable. He speaks English and Bengali and works from his Texas practice with people seeking support for the concerns listed above.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. Online sessions keep that conversational stance by prioritizing the client’s concerns and pacing the work according to their needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a hands-on method that helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral changes. Online CBT typically uses structured conversation, worksheets, and agreed exercises to practice between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. When intense feelings come up, DBT skills give step-by-step tools the client can use during the week.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on goals, current struggles, and personal preference. That might mean mixing elements from different approaches and adjusting as progress is made.
Confirm the specific session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or avoiding the need to be on camera for every meeting. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while they work through issues like guilt, shame, anxiety, and grief.
