About Bushra
Bushra Alsafari is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, low confidence, and coping with life changes. Bushra uses a practical style that focuses on noticing thoughts and trying different ways to respond.
In sessions she draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness exercises to help people reduce unhelpful thinking and build steadier habits. She also uses client-centered principles to listen and reflect what matters most to the person in front of her. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used when people want clear steps and short-term goals.
Bushra works with people who are ready to talk about difficult emotions such as grief, anger, trauma, and relationship strain. She checks in about what a person most wants to change and then maps simple skills to daily life. Sessions tend to emphasize practical strategies and small experiments between meetings.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work and field experience across clinical settings over eight years. The LMSW credential is used to provide clinical support in Michigan. Bushra aims to make the first steps straightforward, including a short intake to identify priorities.

How her approaches work online
Bushra commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT sessions focus on concrete steps such as thought records, behavioral experiments, and practical problem solving aimed at everyday problems like anxiety and low mood.She also uses mindfulness therapy to teach attention and grounding exercises that reduce reactivity. Mindfulness practices in sessions are brief and meant to be repeated between meetings to build calm over time. Client-centered methods underline her online work too, with listening and reflecting used to clarify what the person wants to change.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Bushra will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences. That means trying an exercise, checking what helped, and adapting the plan together.
