About Mahsa
Mahsa Maghsoudi is a licensed clinical professional counselor with ten years of experience helping people through stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She speaks English and Persian and practices in Kansas. Mahsa aims to make the first step feel manageable and straightforward for people seeking support.
Her approach blends practical, evidence-based techniques with a calm, steady presence. Sessions focus on clear tools for managing panic, overwhelming feelings, and tense relationships. She pays attention to how attachment, abandonment worries, and communication patterns shape daily life and emotional reactions.
Mahsa draws from cognitive-behavioral methods as well as trauma-informed practices to address symptoms and patterns that keep people stuck. Work in sessions often includes learning new coping skills, practicing different ways to respond to stress, and testing small changes between meetings.
She also supports people dealing with body image concerns, caregiver stress, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation, and issues around money or life purpose. The aim is to reduce painful symptoms while building habits that feel sustainable in day-to-day life.
Her training includes a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from the University of North Texas and a doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision from the University of Texas at San Antonio. Mahsa’s background combines research-informed methods with practical experience over a decade of clinical work.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
The therapist uses cognitive-behavioral approaches that teach practical skills for noticing and changing thought and behavior patterns that feed panic or anxiety. These methods help people test new responses and reduce distress in daily life.She also uses trauma-informed practices that focus on safety, pacing, and understanding how past experiences shape current reactions. That work helps people make sense of symptoms and build tolerance for difficult feelings.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust strategies based on what feels most helpful. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can change as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for more consistent check-ins. It can also permit shorter or more frequent meetings when a quick skill practice or a brief mood check is useful. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to everyday routines so therapy supports real-world change.
