About Azita
Azita Azizi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, anger, parenting strains, career concerns, and postpartum depression. She also supports those facing life changes, low self-esteem, family tensions, and compassion fatigue.
Azita uses a straightforward, problem-solving approach in sessions. She combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused techniques. She helps clients identify patterns of thought and behavior, then practices practical steps to reduce reactivity and manage strong emotions like anger.
In conversation she leans on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe difficult stories about themselves. She guides clients to test new ways of responding and to notice what works in daily life. Sessions aim to be direct and focused on real-world changes rather than abstract theory.
Azita describes therapy as a process of honest conversation and self-reflection. She invites clients to set clear goals and tracks progress with concrete tasks and skills. The work often includes short behavioral experiments, thought records, and quick coping strategies to use between sessions.
Her practical style is meant to help people manage acute stressors and long-term patterns. Prospective clients who want to improve anger management, adjust after life changes, or reduce anxiety can expect hands-on tools and collaborative problem solving. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Azita uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus conversations on the client's priorities, listening closely and shaping sessions around what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides clear, teachable skills to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors that reduce anger and anxiety. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from negative stories and try new interpretations of past events.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. She works collaboratively with each person to choose which methods to try based on goals and what feels useful. Over the first few sessions she and the client track what helps and adjust the plan as needed.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into workdays or parenting schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. The focus remains on practical tools - thought records, behavioral experiments, and short coping techniques - that can be practiced between sessions to manage anger and improve everyday functioning.
