Azita Azizi , LCSW

Azita Azizi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with nine years of experience supporting people during times of change. She has worked with individuals facing depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, and significant life transitions, focusing on practical strategies that promote healing and forward movement.

Her clinical approach combines solution-focused and client-centered methods with a strengths-based orientation, and draws heavily from Cognitive Behavioral Theory, which emphasizes the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Azita values collaboration and works with each person to identify realistic goals and steps toward them.

Azita believes that people possess resilience and the capacity to grow, even when life feels overwhelming. She views therapy as a warm but challenging process that invites honest reflection and meaningful conversation. In session she aims to create a comfortable, open space where clients can explore concerns without judgment and practice new ways of coping.

Committed to ongoing learning, Azita strives to offer thoughtful, compassionate care that supports clients in meeting their goals and living a more fulfilling life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Azita integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and a client-centered framework into her online practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to improve coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and meeting the person where they are, which supports self-esteem, parenting concerns, and family dynamics. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy techniques to set clear, attainable goals and to build on existing strengths for practical progress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Azita works with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and to tailor methods that fit each person’s situation. Over time she and the client assess what is helping and adjust the plan together.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make consistent care easier to fit into busy schedules or different time zones. Licensed professionals, including Azita, can adapt these formats to support a range of concerns while honoring each client’s communication style and availability.
