About Khadeeja

Khadeeja Mirza is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and addiction concerns. She works with clients who are facing career pressure, parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, or questions about life purpose. Khadeeja brings nine years of clinical experience to her practice in California and speaks English for all sessions.

Her style is direct and collaborative. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps that fit daily life.

02

How Khadeeja works

She combines practical problem-solving with time to talk through feelings and how the past affects current choices. Khadeeja draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. She uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change, and she incorporates psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns rooted in earlier relationships.

Trauma-focused strategies are used when past events continue to cause distress. In a typical session she will listen, ask straightforward questions, and suggest concrete techniques to try between meetings. Therapy can include short-term, solution-focused work or longer exploration depending on each person’s needs and goals.

She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and communication styles. Khadeeja works within a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and session options vary with location and therapist availability.

Online support options

Approaches you can use online

Khadeeja uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral changes that reduce distress. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and habit-related concerns and focuses on practice between sessions.

She also incorporates Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own motivation for change. This approach is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about making changes and works by exploring personal goals and values.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and then recommend whether to focus on short-term problem solving, skill building, or deeper exploration of patterns from the past. That choice is made collaboratively and can shift over time.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is handy for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief updates and ongoing reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or busy days, and they let people choose how they communicate with licensed professionals.
