About Faizah
Faizah Nasser is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with eight years of clinical experience based in Michigan. She works with adults on concerns such as anger, anxiety, depression, stress, parenting, ADHD, relationship strain, grief, and coping with life changes. She also addresses issues like attachment, caregiver stress, hoarding, impulsivity, and questions about life purpose.
Faizah draws on a client-centered stance that keeps the person’s goals at the center of each session. She offers practical, straightforward guidance rather than long lectures. Sessions typically focus on small, manageable steps clients can try between meetings.
She uses elements of cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that fuel anger or anxiety. Mindfulness techniques are used to help people notice physical and emotional cues before reactions escalate. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused work support setting short-term goals and building on what already works.
Her background includes work in outpatient clinics, inpatient hospital settings, and schools, providing both individual and group support. That variety informs a flexible style that adapts to everyday pressures like parenting or job stress. Faizah emphasizes doing concrete skills practice so progress is measurable.
People who come to her often want relief from snapping at loved ones, mounting resentment, or trouble managing frustration at work. She helps people break problems into clear steps and practices that can fit into a busy life.
How sessions work
Approaches used and how online sessions can fit
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and preferences. The therapist follows the client’s lead, offers gentle guidance, and helps prioritize what matters most. This approach is useful when someone wants a practical partner rather than directive advice.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches skills to notice unhelpful thinking and try concrete behavior changes. CBT is commonly used for anger, anxiety, and mood concerns where patterns become clear with practice.
Mindfulness techniques help people recognize bodily signals and early emotions before reactions escalate. Simple breathing and attention practices can make it easier to interrupt a spike of anger and choose a different response.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean trying a few techniques and adjusting the plan based on what feels useful.
The therapist’s biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. For some people, phone or video sessions let them keep momentum between in-person meetings and practice skills in the context of daily life.
