Nadia Maghsadi

Nadia Maghsadi is an LCPC practicing in Maryland who helps people cope with life changes, grief, relationship strain, anxiety, and trauma. She frames therapy as a calm place to talk and to figure out practical next steps. Nadia aims to be warm, honest, and nonjudgmental while listening to what matters most to each person.

Her style is person-centered and humanistic, which means she focuses on empathy and understanding before anything else. Nadia also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts, and she draws on mindfulness and breathing practices she teaches as a yoga instructor. Sessions tend to include straightforward tools and gentle reflection rather than complex jargon.

Her experience includes work in inpatient care for girls, detention centers for juvenile boys, outpatient substance use programs, domestic violence intervention for couples, and the National Suicide Lifeline. She has also provided family therapy for complicated family dynamics and has worked with sexual assault and abuse concerns. Nadia has four years of clinical experience and holds an LCPC in Maryland.

Nadia names multicultural awareness as important to her work and notes her background as the child of Middle Eastern immigrants when discussing identity and culture in sessions. She uses narrative techniques to help people tell and reframe their stories, and Imago Relationship Therapy tools when relationship patterns are a focus.

Approaches that guide online work and change

Client-centered therapy puts the person’s experience first and aims to create a warm, accepting space where someone can speak openly about life changes. This approach helps when someone needs to be heard and to make sense of difficult feelings without judgment.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thinking and to try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress during transitions.

Mindfulness techniques focus on breathing and present-moment awareness. These tools can reduce reactivity, ease intense emotions, and provide simple ways to cope during times of change.

Finding the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to pick or blend methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That might mean starting with listening and person-centered work, then adding CBT tools or mindfulness practices as needed.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and let people meet with a therapist from wherever their schedule allows. It can also allow brief check-ins or focused skill practice when time is limited.
