About Nusrat
Nusrat Karim is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with 12 years of experience. She lists stress, anxiety, parenting, self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns among her areas of focus, and also works with trauma, grief, anger, career changes, ADHD and social anxiety and phobia.
Nusrat trained at Florida International University and uses straightforward, skills-based methods in sessions. She favors cognitive behavioral approaches and blends them with person-centered ways of talking. She also draws on solution-focused ideas, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness practices when appropriate.
In practical terms she helps people identify unhelpful thinking and then tests different ways of responding. Sessions often include short exercises, goal setting, and simple skills to try between meetings. Conversations aim to be direct and clear so people leave with something to use that week.
She has worked with both adults and young people in clinical settings. That background means she is familiar with difficulties such as depression, anxiety, attention challenges, anger, and problems with coping and social skills.
Nusrat emphasizes good communication in sessions. She listens, reflects what she hears, and gives honest feedback. If someone wants to get started she asks them to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to talk about goals and next steps.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Nusrat commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve functioning. ACT emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings, clarifying personal values, and taking actions that matter despite difficult emotions.She also practices client-centered techniques that prioritize listening and clear feedback. Together these methods help people set small, practical goals and build skills that fit daily life. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process, and the therapist will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences.
Confirm the specific online session formats before booking, as they are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and avoid travel time. It can also let people try sessions from wherever they are, which can help maintain consistency while exploring social anxiety, stress, or coping strategies.
