Sepideh Pourhassani , LPC

Sepideh Pourhassani is a licensed therapist practicing in Tennessee who works with people across the lifespan to address addiction, emotional and behavioral challenges, and the effects of trauma. She has experience supporting adults and adolescents facing substance use concerns as well as children and teenagers navigating emotional and behavioral difficulties. Throughout her clinical work she has observed that trauma, anxiety, depression, and grief commonly affect clients of all ages, and she incorporates that understanding into treatment planning.

Recognizing that life often becomes busy and self-care can be pushed aside, she partners with individuals from diverse backgrounds to remove barriers to change and foster growth. Sepideh strives to create a supportive environment where clients can explore obstacles, build coping skills, and work toward increased life satisfaction. She encourages taking that first step into counseling as a way to regain a sense of control and move toward one’s goals.

Sepideh holds the LPC credential, which stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, and she uses collaborative, client-focused methods to help people identify practical steps for improvement and long-term well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Sepideh

Sepideh integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to support meaningful change. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental alliance where the client’s values and goals guide the work - this approach is helpful for people seeking personal growth, improved self-esteem, and stronger relationships. CBT offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and problematic coping patterns.

She also incorporates mindfulness techniques to help clients develop present-moment awareness and manage stress. Mindfulness practices can be useful for emotional regulation, reducing reactivity, and improving focus amid life’s demands. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process - Sepideh works with each person to tailor methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences so therapy fits their life and pace.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to access consistent care without adding travel time. These formats support scheduling flexibility, allow work around busy days, and enable ongoing contact in a way that suits each client’s routine while still working with licensed professionals and therapists to move toward meaningful change.
