About Mahroo

Mahroo Moshari, LCSW, centers her work on helping people find meaning and strength during difficult times. She brings 20 years of clinical experience in New York to sessions and focuses on practical skills that reduce anxiety and improve day-to-day functioning. She uses an existential frame to look at values, choice, and purpose alongside client-centered listening that honors each person's story.

Background and approach

Emotionally-Focused Therapy and motivational strategies are drawn on when relationships or motivation are central concerns. Clients often come for help with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting challenges, and life transitions. Mahroo also supports people managing trauma, sleep problems, anger, and work-related strain.

She pays attention to cultural background and how it shapes identity and coping. Sessions include skill building in self-awareness, problem-solving, and communication. Homework and concrete steps are common so progress can be tracked between meetings.

The tone is respectful, direct, and sometimes light-hearted to keep work manageable. Mahroo speaks English, Italian, and Persian and practices in New York as an LCSW - licensed clinical social worker. She combines short-term strategies with deeper reflection to help people make sustainable changes.

If someone wants to start, they complete a brief questionnaire and schedule a session. Appointments are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging based on what fits the person's life and goals.

Online support

How existential and practical approaches work online

Existential Therapy helps people look at values, purpose, and choice when life feels confusing or empty. It invites honest conversations about what matters and supports people facing big life questions or transitions.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and building trust. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflecting feelings and helping them clarify goals and decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers concrete tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or anger struggles.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will listen to your concerns, try different strategies, and together you will decide what feels most helpful based on your goals and preferences. Sessions often combine reflection with skill practice so insights turn into everyday changes.

Online therapy makes these approaches easier to use around a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can fit into a lunch break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, coaching, and tracking homework between sessions. These options increase flexibility and help clients keep momentum toward their goals.
