About Khadeeja
Khadeeja Mirza is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, depression, motivation and self-esteem concerns. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings.
Khadeeja uses a mix of approaches to fit what each person needs. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. Motivational Interviewing helps clarify goals and increase motivation. Trauma-focused work addresses the effects of past harm on current life.
Her style is collaborative and direct. She helps people notice patterns, test new behaviors, and track what changes. Conversations are meant to produce concrete strategies rather than only reflection.
Khadeeja also integrates psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas when they help the work. That can mean looking at repeated relationship patterns or setting small, achievable goals for change. She will discuss options and pick what seems useful for the person’s situation.
Her additional interests include adoption and foster care, multicultural concerns, substance issues, grief and family stress. People often come for help with communication problems, codependency, control issues, and feelings of guilt or shame. Khadeeja works in English and sees clients in California.
How CBT and other methods work in online sessions
Khadeeja commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions so a person can test small behavioral changes and notice what shifts.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify their goals and strengthen their own reasons for change. That approach is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure how to start. When past hurt affects current life, she applies trauma-focused techniques to address symptoms and build coping skills.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Khadeeja will talk with the person about what feels most relevant and adjust methods as goals evolve. This is a collaborative process that combines practical skills with exploration of patterns.
