About Mahroo
Mahroo Moshari is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in New York with 20 years of experience. She focuses on concerns such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, parenting strains, relationship patterns, trauma and grief. She works with people across different cultural backgrounds and speaks English, Italian, and Persian.
Mahroo uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside client-centered approaches and cognitive behavioral techniques. Sessions emphasize noticing feelings, naming emotions, and improving how a person responds to strong emotional moments. She helps clients develop clearer self-awareness and practical coping tools for day-to-day problems.
Her work often includes supporting people who feel misunderstood because of cultural stigma or immigration-related pressures. She assists with problems like identity confusion, social anxiety, and struggles that stem from caregiving or life transitions. Conversations cover coping strategies, communication skills, and decision-making about relationships and roles.
In sessions she teaches problem-solving steps and ways to reduce negative thinking. She also helps people practice more effective communication to ease recurring conflicts. Humor and straightforward feedback are part of how she addresses difficult topics.
Mahroo’s background spans two decades of clinical practice in New York. She combines narrative and existential ideas with motivational interviewing when helpful. People can expect practical exercises, reflective questions, and focused goals tailored to their situation.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Mahroo uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name hard-to-identify emotions and to change how they respond in charged moments. EFT is often used for strong relationship or attachment-related feelings and for improving emotional regulation in everyday life. She also draws on client-centered work that focuses on listening and reflecting on a person’s experience, which helps people feel understood and heard in sessions.She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thought patterns and to try small behavior changes between meetings. Together she and the client decide which approach or combination feels most useful, adapting direction as goals and needs become clearer. That decision-making is collaborative and revisited as progress is made.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Sessions conducted remotely can also be adjusted to focus on skill practice, emotional processing, or problem-solving depending on what the person wants to work on.
