About Masi

Masi Kadzai helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, mood struggles, and relationship or intimacy issues. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and works with grieving people, those coping with trauma, and clients navigating parenting, career shifts, or energy-draining compassion fatigue. Masi keeps language direct and practical so worried parents can read quickly and understand next steps.

Her sessions focus on building skills that fit daily life. She uses exercises from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.

How Masi works

Mindfulness practices slow down racing thoughts, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and act on them. Motivational Interviewing supports change by drawing out each person’s own reasons to move forward. Clients can expect short-term skill building alongside deeper work when it’s needed.

Masi often blends approaches to match a person’s goals, whether that means managing panic attacks, improving sleep, or handling depression and bipolar mood swings. She aims for straightforward strategies rather than jargon-heavy plans. With six years of experience and an Illinois LCSW, she brings practical experience and steady support.

Sessions are offered in English and Masi is available to work with international clients when scheduling allows. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different routines. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability.

The process is designed to be simple so families and busy parents can get started without extra stress.

Online support options

Approach to online therapy and evidence-based tools

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people identify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values, even when uncomfortable feelings appear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and address sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships when strong emotions or impulsivity get in the way.

Masi treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She listens to each person's goals, tries techniques together, and adjusts methods over time based on what feels useful. Clients and therapist decide which tools fit best for issues like panic, trauma recovery, or parenting stress.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide more flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversations and gesture cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging are useful for ongoing support, quick skill reminders, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and busy family schedules.
