About Mahroo

Background and approach
Mahroo uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches, emotionally-focused methods, and motivational interviewing. She adapts techniques to each person’s needs and cultural background. Many people she sees are coping with identity questions, low self-esteem, or acculturation stress after moving between cultures.
She also helps with sleep problems, anger, career transitions, ADHD-related challenges, and intimacy concerns. Additional experience includes adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, body image, and blended family issues. Her practice addresses both everyday problems and deeper trauma-related concerns.
Sessions can be held in English, Italian, or Persian. Mahroo supports practical change over time by teaching coping strategies and clearer communication. She aims to build trust and a steady working relationship that helps people feel more confident and capable in daily life.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Client-centered therapy starts with the person and their priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people set goals that matter to them. This approach is useful for improving self-awareness and building skills for everyday problems.Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions teach ways to spot unhelpful thinking and try practical steps to change behaviors and mood. This method often helps with anxiety, depression, sleeping issues, and anger management.
Emotionally-focused work looks at how feelings show up in relationships and personal patterns. It helps people name emotions, communicate them more clearly, and repair or reshape important connections. This approach is helpful for intimacy issues, attachment concerns, and communication problems.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk about options and try techniques together to see what fits the client’s goals and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is working.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for a close, interactive session. Phone can work when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer written check-ins or need flexible timing. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or busy family schedules.
