About Nadia

Nadia Maghsadi is a licensed clinical professional counselor based in Maryland. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, stress, relationship strain, ADHD, and trauma-related concerns. Nadia is direct and warm in session and aims to make therapy feel understandable and useful.

Background and approach

Her background includes work in inpatient hospital settings, juvenile detention programs, outpatient substance use treatment, domestic violence intervention, and a national crisis hotline. That range gives her familiarity with intense stress, grief, addiction, and safety-focused work. She has also provided family therapy to untangle complicated family dynamics.

Nadia holds an MD and is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - LCPC. Her training and practice have included trauma-focused approaches and attention to sexual assault and problematic sexual behavior concerns. She brings a multicultural perspective as the child of Middle Eastern immigrants and pays attention to culture and identity in sessions.

In therapy she aims to be honest, nonjudgmental, and patient. People can expect a collaborative process where goals are set together and progress is checked along the way.

Approaches you can use online with a counselor

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and meeting each person where they are. It helps people feel heard and build the confidence to explore difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thought patterns and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits. Imago Relationship Therapy helps partners understand their old patterns and communicate in clearer, less reactive ways.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Nadia will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that suit those needs, and adjust as progress is made. The therapeutic plan can include conversation, skills practice, mindfulness exercises, or relationship-focused work depending on what the client wants.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video lets people read body language and work in real time, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be simpler to join, and chat or text can be useful for brief check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options offer flexibility so people can choose what works best for their schedule and energy level.
