About Theyazan
Theyazan Kohaif is a licensed social worker who offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, and relationship struggles. He holds both LMSW and LCSW credentials and brings ten years of clinical experience to conversations about mood, trauma, and self-worth. He focuses on straightforward, goal‑oriented work.
Sessions look at immediate concerns like panic, low mood, or trouble connecting with others. He also helps people coping with big life changes, grief, or patterns that keep repeating.
Background and approach
He uses clear, everyday language so progress feels understandable. Assessment and planning are collaborative. He will ask questions to clarify what matters most and then shape a plan that fits each person’s pace and priorities.
Treatment plans are practical, with steps people can try between sessions to test what works. He has experience supporting those dealing with addictions, intimacy issues, parenting strain, and challenges linked to adoption or caregiving. He also addresses concerns such as body image, neurodiversity, and chronic illness related stress.
This range means he can draw on ten years of varied clinical work to help find useful starting points. People meeting him can expect a respectful approach that centers their goals. He aims to make therapy a space for honest conversations and steady progress.
Sessions are offered from Michigan and are available in English.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Theyazan draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and symptom relief. One approach helps people identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, then tries new ways of responding to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach focuses on processing difficult experiences step by step, helping people stabilize and make sense of trauma or painful memories.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about their concerns, goals, and preferences, then recommend techniques to try. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most, so the work stays aligned with the client’s needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different lives and schedules. Video calls make longer therapy sessions possible when visual connection matters. Phone sessions or live chat can work when bandwidth is low or someone needs a quicker check-in. Text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions and can help keep momentum. These options let people fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while still working with licensed professionals.
