About Sepideh
Sepideh Pourhassani is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Tennessee with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults and adolescents on issues such as addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, and behavioral challenges. Her practice also addresses parenting concerns, relationship strains, ADHD, and problems with self-esteem and anger.
She uses straightforward, goal-focused methods in sessions. Conversations focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits, and trying practical steps to change them. Sepideh draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered techniques alongside mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people notice patterns and try new responses.
Her background includes work with people affected by trauma, grief, and substance use. She has experience helping young people with emotional and behavioral difficulties and adults coping with life transitions. That practical experience informs how she structures sessions and sets short-term goals.
In-session, she tends to use clear exercises and brief skills practice rather than long theoretical discussion. Sessions may include thought records, behavior experiments, mindful breathing, or short problem-solving tasks. These are used to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines.
Sepideh welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and addresses multicultural concerns and issues such as prejudice and identity stress. She also works with adoption and attachment issues, codependency, and compulsive behaviors. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.
To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first appointment. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How CBT, client-centered work, and mindfulness translate to online sessions
Sepideh commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT is practical and suited to problems like anxiety, depression, and compulsive habits.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the conversation on the client's goals and lived experience. That approach helps clarify what change the client most wants and keeps the work focused on those aims.
Mindfulness Therapy is used for simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and improve focus. These techniques are brief and can be practiced between appointments to support daily routines.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will help clients decide which approach or combination fits their needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative process and may shift as progress is made.
