Dr. Sephiratu Wahab is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 12 years of professional experience. She has supported people coping with stress and anxiety, survivors of trauma and abuse, and those navigating grief and loss, as well as clients working to build motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. Her work emphasizes creating an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared and explored.

Dr. Wahab draws on practical strategies and empathy to help clients identify patterns that keep them stuck while fostering skills for more effective coping. She approaches each person as an individual, tailoring conversations and interventions to the concerns presented in session. Beginning therapy can feel like a big step, and Dr. Wahab acknowledges the courage involved in seeking support while offering steady, respectful guidance as people move forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dr. Wahab uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take meaningful action toward a life they care about. ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, and patterns that interfere with daily living.

She also integrates Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathetic listening and collaborative understanding so clients feel heard and respected as they explore personal concerns. This approach supports work on self-esteem, motivation, and relationship difficulties.

Dr. Wahab may incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, a practical option for anxiety, depression, and coping with loss.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Wahab works with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the work as progress unfolds in a collaborative way.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for scheduling and access from different locations. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while maintaining consistent, therapist-led support.
