About Mahroo
Mahroo Moshari, LCSW, brings 20 years of clinical experience to her psychotherapy practice in New York. She uses a multicultural, client-centered stance that focuses on practical change. Parents and individuals often come to her with sleep difficulties, anxiety, low self-esteem, or major life transitions.
Her style is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions emphasize building self-awareness and problem-solving skills. Clients learn coping strategies to manage stress, anger, panic, and mood swings while improving communication with others.
Moshari draws on a mix of approaches, including cognitive behavioral ideas, emotionally-focused methods, existential reflection, and motivational interviewing. She adapts techniques to fit each person’s situation rather than following a single formula. This helps when concerns include grief, trauma, relationship pain, or persistent sleep disruption.
She has worked extensively with youth and people navigating cultural or immigration-related issues. Her background makes her comfortable discussing identity, acculturation, and the ways cultural stigma can affect self-worth and help-seeking. Language options include English, Italian, and Persian.
In therapy people can expect to practice skills between sessions. The work often targets thoughts and behaviors that interfere with rest, mood, and daily functioning. Progress is paced to each person’s needs and life demands. Moshari aims to combine respect and warmth with clear, actionable steps toward better sleep, balance, and emotional well-being.
How her approaches inform online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. The therapist offers empathy and reflection to help clients feel heard and to build trust, which supports work on sleep, stress, and relationships.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Practical tools such as sleep routines, thought records, and behavior experiments are used to reduce insomnia, anxiety, and low mood.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in how people respond to emotion and connection. It helps people notice and shift interaction patterns that affect intimacy, grief, and emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. This collaborative plan can change as needs evolve.
