Nadia Maghsadi, LCPC

Nadia Maghsadi is an LCPC who supports people facing addictions, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, and parenting stress. She brings a calm, nonjudgmental presence to sessions and focuses on practical steps that help clients move forward. Nadia is based in Maryland and works from a perspective that centers the person rather than labels or judgments.

She uses an approach that combines client-centered listening with techniques that challenge unhelpful thinking patterns. That means time is spent both on being heard and on trying small, concrete changes that can reduce symptoms. Nadia also draws on mindfulness practices and narrative techniques to help people rewrite painful stories about themselves.

Her background includes work in inpatient care, juvenile detention, outpatient substance abuse programs, domestic violence intervention, and the National Suicide Lifeline. She has experience providing family therapy to untangle complicated dynamics and has worked with adults in substance use treatment settings. Nadia completed a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Johns Hopkins University and holds an LCPC in Maryland.

Nadia describes her style as warm, genuine, and patient. She aims to be honest and kind while helping clients identify thoughts or behaviors that block progress. As the child of Middle Eastern immigrants, she pays attention to cultural background and how it shapes identity and relationships.

She also offers breathing and mindfulness techniques drawn from her experience as a yoga teacher. Those tools are used alongside talk therapy to help with stress, anger, self-esteem, and coping with change.

How Nadia Uses Talk Therapy and Mindfulness Online

Nadia frequently blends client-centered work with cognitive tools and mindfulness. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and helping people feel understood; it helps when someone needs a calm space to make decisions or process emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and guides people to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns that keep problems like anxiety or depression going.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Nadia will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that match those needs. She checks in often and adjusts the work as progress or priorities change.
