About Masi
Masi Kadzai helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, mood disorders, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She works with concerns like depression, bipolar symptoms, panic, grief, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, and challenges with intimacy. Parents can find support for parenting strain and blended family issues, and those facing career changes or life transitions can get practical guidance.
Masi uses straightforward tools to help people feel steadier day to day.
Background and approach
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Sessions focus on small, doable steps that fit daily life and build skills for handling difficult feelings. She brings six years of professional experience and holds an LCSW, which is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Illinois.
That background informs a down-to-earth style rooted in listening first and offering clear, practical strategies next. Conversations are collaborative and paced to the person’s needs. Masi pays attention to cultural background and identity when those issues matter to the work.
She assists people with concerns such as abandonment, isolation, impulsivity, and life purpose. She also supports those coping with postpartum depression, panic attacks, and post-traumatic stress. Sessions are available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules.
International clients can be seen in English. To begin, someone completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a session based on therapist availability.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take manageable steps toward them while learning to tolerate uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for panic, mood disorders, and sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships and can be useful for strong mood swings and impulsivity.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and daily demands, then recommend which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can change over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions reduce bandwidth needs and can work well when movement or multitasking is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing skill practice between longer sessions. These options give flexibility so people can keep progress steady while juggling work, parenting, or other responsibilities.
