Azita Azizi , LCSW

Azita Azizi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with nine years of experience supporting people who are navigating change. She works with individuals facing depression, anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, relationship and family concerns, parenting and postpartum challenges, career questions, and related life transitions. Her work also addresses self-esteem, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and coaching-oriented goals.

Azita uses a solution-focused, client-centered, and strengths-based approach while drawing heavily from Cognitive Behavioral Theory (CBT). She helps clients identify patterns in thinking and behavior, build practical skills, and discover steps that move them toward meaningful change. Therapy with her combines warmth and challenge, inviting honest conversation and self-reflection while centering each person’s goals and resilience.

She aims to create a comfortable, open space where people can explore difficulties and practice new ways of coping. Azita prioritizes empathy and compassion in her sessions and remains committed to ongoing learning to ensure the care she provides reflects current knowledge and effective methods.

Approaches and online care for meaningful change

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own concerns and priorities, offering a supportive space where the therapist listens deeply and follows the client’s lead to build insight and self-direction. It is useful for people seeking understanding, validation, and a collaborative path forward.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more constructive patterns. It is practical and skills-based, often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problem-solving challenges.

Solution-Focused Therapy centers on strengths and small, achievable steps to create change, emphasizing what is already working and how to build on those successes. It can be effective for clients who want focused, goal-oriented progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Azita works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to access care across distances. These options support continuity, convenience, and consistent work toward personal goals.
