Nadira Persaud

Nadira Persaud, LCSW, helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and changes in their lives. She supports adults coping with relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, and low self-esteem. Nadira also works with people facing career strain, caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, and mood challenges such as bipolar symptoms.

Her approach is conversational and person-focused. She listens for patterns in relationships, family history, and coping habits. Sessions often include practical steps to manage symptoms and short-term goals to build momentum.

Nadira uses Client-Centered Therapy to make space for each person’s values and pace. She also draws on Psychodynamic Therapy to look at how past relationships shape current behavior. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set clear, manageable goals for change.

She brings ten years of clinical experience in New Jersey and holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW. Nadira emphasizes cultural responsiveness and attention to identity in sessions. She aims to help people strengthen communication, repair relationship patterns, and build healthier routines.

People who reach out can expect a calm, direct style and a mix of reflective conversation and practical strategies. Nadira invites clients to notice what works, try small changes, and revisit goals as needed.

How these approaches shape remote therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. In practice this means the therapist reflects what matters to the person, supports their values, and adjusts pace so the client feels heard. This approach is useful for issues like relationship strain, identity concerns, and low self-esteem.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that repeat over time and where they may come from. A therapist will gently bring attention to recurring themes from past relationships to help people understand why they react a certain way now. This can help with grief, attachment issues, and family of origin concerns.

Solution-Focused Therapy keeps sessions goal-oriented, breaking larger problems into small, doable steps. It helps people set specific targets and track progress, which can be helpful for stress, sleep problems, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nadira will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She reviews what helps, adjusts strategies, and checks in about progress so goals stay relevant.
