About Asma
Asma Alqahtani is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She speaks both English and Arabic and brings eight years of experience to her work with individuals.
Asma aims to make the therapy room feel welcoming and nonjudgmental. She helps people name what feels overwhelming and then breaks problems into small, manageable steps.
How Asma works
Sessions tend to be practical and straightforward, with space to talk through emotions and to try new ways of handling daily challenges. She often addresses attachment and communication problems, control issues, and the emotional impact of divorce and separation. She also supports people working on forgiveness, clarifying life purpose, and building self-love.
These topics are discussed in plain language so clients can use ideas between sessions. Asma uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person’s needs. She collaborates with clients to set clear goals and checks progress along the way.
Therapy is paced to match what the person feels able to handle. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to therapist availability.
The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Asma uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One common approach involves helping people identify unhelpful thinking and testing new ways of responding to stress and anxiety. This helps reduce overwhelm and build more effective coping in everyday situations.Another area of focus is improving attachment and communication. That work looks at patterns in relationships, how they started, and new habits a person can practice to feel more connected and assertive. It is useful for communication problems, control issues, and navigating separation or divorce.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will listen to a person’s goals and try methods that fit their needs. If something isn’t helping, she will adjust the plan so sessions stay useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are close to an in-person visit and let therapists read facial cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between appointments or fit therapy into short breaks during the day. These options give flexibility for different schedules and communication preferences.
