About Sepideh
Sepideh Pourhassani is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with eight years of experience. She works with adults and adolescents on issues such as addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, and behavioral difficulties. Sepideh also lists concerns like stress, parenting struggles, relationship problems, ADHD, and questions about identity and belonging.
She frames therapy as a practical place to start making changes. Sessions focus on identifying what feels off and taking small, concrete steps toward better routines and coping. Sepideh uses conversational, goal-oriented methods so people can see which ideas fit their life.
Her background includes working with people affected by trauma, grief, and substance use. That work helped her notice patterns that repeat across ages and backgrounds, like avoidance, shame, or problems trusting others. She helps clients name those patterns and try different ways of responding.
Sepideh draws on several approaches to guide sessions. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and build the relationship, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address thinking and behavior, and Motivational Interviewing to clarify goals when change feels hard. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are added when useful.
Practical matters are part of the work. Conversations look at daily habits, communication skills, and small experiments to test new behaviors. People are encouraged to set realistic goals and check progress from week to week.
How her approaches translate to online work
Sepideh often uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and helping clients feel understood so they can set their own goals. That approach is useful when someone is sorting through identity, relationships, or major life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and habits and then try practical changes. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, and attention or behavior challenges by breaking problems into small, testable steps.
Motivational Interviewing helps when motivation feels low or change seems overwhelming. It focuses on clarifying values and building small momentum toward goals like reducing substance use or improving daily routines.
Choosing the right approach is part of the collaboration. Sepideh will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts strategies as progress is made. This helps keep sessions focused and relevant.
Session formats are not specified in her biography, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time so sessions can happen between classes, shifts, or commitments.
