About Nadia
Nadia Maghsadi is an MD and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who helps people manage anger and related concerns. She works directly with issues like trauma, family conflict, anxiety, depression, stress, relationship struggles, substance use concerns, and self-esteem. Nadia brings a calm, patient presence to sessions and aims to make each person feel heard.
Nadia learned counseling at Johns Hopkins University and completed undergraduate studies at the University of Maryland, College Park.
Background and approach
Her four years of clinical experience include inpatient hospital work, juvenile detention settings, outpatient substance use programs, domestic violence intervention, and crisis line support. That range gives her practical insight into strong emotions and complex situations. Her approach is person-centered and humanistic.
She listens without judgment and values warmth and honesty. She also uses cognitive-behavioral ideas to notice thought patterns that fuel painful emotions or unhelpful behaviors. Nadia often weaves mindfulness and breathing techniques into sessions.
She is a yoga teacher and offers simple grounding exercises when they fit someone’s goals. She also draws on narrative ideas to help people reframe difficult stories about themselves. Raised by Middle Eastern immigrant parents, Nadia pays attention to cultural background when it matters.
She helps people consider how their upbringing shapes reactions, relationships, and expectations. Her style is collaborative and straightforward, focused on practical steps that make daily life feel more manageable.

Therapeutic approaches for online work
Nadia commonly blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathic reflection, and building a trusting relationship so clients feel understood and can explore emotions safely. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anger, anxiety, and depression.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nadia will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether to emphasize listening and reflection, skills-based CBT work, mindfulness practices, or a mix of methods to meet the client's needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in or an option when bandwidth is low. Live chat and messaging allow flexible, ongoing contact and quick check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into weekly life and try different ways of working until the right fit is found.
