About Nadia

Nadia Maghsadi is a licensed mental health professional based in Maryland who brings a broad clinical background to her counseling practice. She completed undergraduate studies at the University of Maryland, College Park and earned a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Johns Hopkins University. Her credentials include an MD, which denotes a Doctor of Medicine, and an LCPC, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor.

Nadia’s clinical experience spans inpatient care for adolescent girls, detention center work with juvenile males, outpatient substance abuse programs for adults, domestic violence intervention for couples, and answering calls for the National Suicide Lifeline. She has provided family therapy to help people navigate complex family dynamics and holds national counselor certification along with additional certifications in treating trauma and problematic sexual behaviors.

Therapeutically she practices from a person-centered, humanistic stance, offering warmth, patience, empathy, and nonjudgmental support. She combines that stance with skills in identifying unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to painful emotions and behaviors, and she aims to be honest while remaining kind and supportive throughout the therapeutic process. As the child of Middle Eastern immigrants, she honors cultural background as a meaningful part of therapy and also offers breathing and mindfulness techniques informed by her training as a yoga teacher.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a compassionate, accepting space where the client’s experiences guide the work. It helps people exploring self-esteem, relationship struggles, cultural identity, and major life transitions by prioritizing the client’s perspective and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that helps identify and shift patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, anger, and stress. It emphasizes concrete strategies for managing symptoms and reaching personal goals. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help manage overwhelming emotions, reduce reactivity, and increase present-moment awareness; these techniques can support recovery from trauma, help with emotional regulation, and complement other therapeutic work.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Nadia collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She integrates elements from different approaches as appropriate and involves clients in deciding the direction of therapy. Licensed professionals tailor the plan to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access care from home or other convenient locations. These options support ongoing progress while allowing clients to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for them.
