Nadia Sultani, LMSW

Nadia Sultani is a licensed social worker with 24 years of clinical experience. She uses a practical, client-centered approach to help people cope with anxiety, depression, stress, and major life changes. Nadia offers straightforward guidance and calm support during difficult moments.

She combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and client-centered methods to help people notice thoughts and habits that get in the way. Sessions focus on small, doable steps to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines. Motivational Interviewing is used when people want to change behaviors like substance use or unhealthy patterns.

Nadia has worked with a wide range of concerns, including grief, trauma and abuse, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and mood variability such as bipolar symptoms and seasonal affective disorder. She also helps with relationship strain, intimacy issues, parenting challenges, and career stress. Multicultural experiences and identity issues are part of her practice, and she offers support in English and Arabic.

Her style is collaborative and practical. Nadia listens first, then helps clients build coping tools they can use between sessions. She emphasizes clear goals and measurable progress rather than abstract techniques.

Working remotely from Michigan, she supports clients through strategies that fit daily life. People who prefer step-by-step plans and conversational, focused therapy often find her approach helpful and approachable.

Online approaches that focus on thoughts, strengths, and change

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what they say, and helps them find their own answers. This approach is useful for people who need empathy and understanding as a starting point.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and try small experiments to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, OCD patterns, and sleep or eating struggles. Sessions typically include practical exercises and homework to apply between meetings.

Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to make changes but feel stuck. It focuses on clarifying personal reasons for change and building motivation one step at a time. This method pairs well with CBT when working on behaviors like substance use or health routines.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, values, and daily life. That process can change as progress is made.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations, phone can be lighter and needs less bandwidth, and chat or messaging lets people check in between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and varied routines.
