About Sepideh
Sepideh Pourhassani is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee. She works with adults and adolescents who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, or life changes. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, relationship questions, and self-esteem concerns.
Sepideh uses straightforward conversation to help people identify small, practical steps forward. She listens without judgment and helps clients set realistic goals. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her and on finding ways to make everyday life feel more manageable.
How Sepideh works
Her clinical work draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. That means she helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts, practice new behaviors, and build skills to manage stress and cravings. Mindfulness tools and brief goal-focused plans are mixed in when they fit the client’s needs.
Over eight years she has helped people facing trauma, addiction, mood issues, ADHD, and challenges tied to adoption, attachment, and multicultural stress. She pays attention to how shame, guilt, and past hurts shape current behavior and decision making. The aim is to reduce symptoms and increase coping skills that are useful outside the therapy hour.
People who choose Sepideh can expect practical talk, clear goals, and steady support while they work toward change. She welcomes clients who want a direct, collaborative approach to solving problems and improving daily life.

How these approaches look in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience and goals. The therapist listens, reflects what she hears, and helps clients choose their next steps; this approach helps when someone needs a steady, accepting space to make decisions.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. It is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and some addictive patterns because it mixes practical homework with in-session practice.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and improve emotion regulation. These tools often pair well with CBT to help manage stress and cravings.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, listen to what has or has not worked before, and try strategies together to find the best fit. Plans are revisited and adjusted as needs change.
Online therapy can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and shared screen work for worksheets. Phone calls use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, notes between sessions, or shorter, focused conversations. These options make it easier to work on stress, addiction, trauma recovery, and everyday challenges from different locations and schedules.
