About Nadia

Nadia Maghsadi is an LCPC and medical doctor who helps people work through family strain, trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She offers a steady, nonjudgmental presence and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Nadia blends listening with clear feedback to help clients move toward goals.

She draws from Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. She also uses client-centered methods to create a warm, genuine space where clients set the pace.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used when identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors matters. Nadia has four years of clinical experience across a range of settings. Her background includes work in inpatient care, juvenile detention, outpatient substance treatment, domestic violence programs, and crisis lines.

That variety shaped a practical, down-to-earth approach to common problems. She names multicultural context as important and often explores how family background and culture influence choices and identity. Nadia is comfortable talking about sexuality, sexual assault and abuse, grief, guilt, shame, and issues tied to parenting or intimacy.

Sessions may include mindfulness and breathing exercises drawn from her yoga teaching. Her style aims to be honest and kind, offering clear ideas about next steps while staying patient and empathetic. Nadia practices in Maryland and works in English.

Online session options

How these approaches work online

Narrative Therapy helps people rewrite the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. Online sessions let a client reflect on events and identity, then try new ways of describing and responding to problems. This can help with family conflict, grief, and issues around self-worth.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, respectful, and patient relationship. The therapist listens without judging and follows the client's pace, which supports people who feel overwhelmed or stuck. In an online visit this approach focuses on understanding the client's experience and building trust before trying new strategies.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and tests small experiments to change them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and some addiction or mood concerns, and adapts well to video or messaging by assigning short exercises between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. This is a collaborative process where preferences and real-life demands guide choices.

Online therapy offers flexibility and fits many schedules. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for brief reflections, ongoing check-ins, or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, childcare, or other commitments.
