About Mahsa
Mahsa Maghsoudi is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Kansas with 10 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma or relationship problems. Mahsa also focuses on life purpose questions and related concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, isolation, and difficulties with communication or control.
She uses straightforward, research-informed methods in session. Mahsa draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and patterns. She also integrates dialectical behavior techniques to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills. Trauma-informed practices shape how she approaches painful memories and safety in the room.
Sessions typically involve setting clear goals, practicing new skills, and reviewing progress in short, practical steps. She pays attention to how past relationships affect present choices and supports people working through guilt, shame, or forgiveness. Money and financial stress, body image, and impulsivity are also common topics she addresses.
Mahsa holds 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. Her academic background informs a structured, evidence-oriented style without relying on jargon.
People who come to her often want help figuring out what matters next after a life change. She encourages practical problem solving, clearer communication, and skills to manage strong emotions. Sessions are offered in English and Persian, and international clients are not currently accepted.
How evidence-based skills translate to online sessions
Mahsa commonly draws on cognitive behavioral methods and dialectical behavior techniques. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and decision-making. Dialectical behavior techniques teach concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication during tense moments.She also uses trauma-informed practices to respect pacing and safety when working with painful memories. Choosing the right mix of techniques is collaborative; the therapist and client review what helps and adjust the plan as goals and needs evolve.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can still make therapy fit daily life by removing commute time, making it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, and letting people join from a quieter location or while on a break at work. These practical benefits help keep momentum between sessions and make regular skill practice more feasible.
