Mahsa Maghsoudi

Mahsa Maghsoudi, LCPC, helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship concerns. She speaks English and Persian and brings ten years of experience to her work in Kansas.

Her approach centers on practical, evidence-based techniques that aim to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Sessions focus on clear goals, skill building, and learning ways to manage difficult emotions and behaviors. Mahsa emphasizes short-term tools alongside deeper work when it feels necessary.

She draws on a mix of cognitive and behavioral strategies plus trauma-informed practices. That means she helps clients notice thought patterns that get in the way, try different behaviors, and build skills for handling stress and intense feelings. The work is collaborative and paced to the person’s needs.

In a typical session Mahsa listens for what matters most, helps set achievable steps, and practices skills together. She pays attention to attachment and body-image concerns, issues around abandonment or control, and the impact of caregiving or financial stress. People also bring concerns about isolation, forgiveness, guilt, and relationship communication.

Mahsa’s training includes a master’s in Mental Health Counseling and a doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision. She aims to make therapy straightforward and useful, helping people take small, steady steps toward clearer thinking and more manageable days.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Mahsa uses clear, evidence-based techniques that are easy to explain in virtual sessions. Cognitive behavioral methods focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to change feelings and outcomes; they work well for anxiety, depression, and mood concerns. Trauma-informed approaches pay attention to safety and pacing, helping people process upsetting events and build skills for managing strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mahsa treats choice of method as a collaborative decision and will adjust techniques to fit a person's goals, pace, and preferences. She discusses options and checks in regularly to make sure the approach feels useful.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make attending regular sessions simpler for people juggling work, caregiving, or medical appointments.
