Nadia Samhouri, LPC

Nadia Samhouri is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with 20 years of experience supporting people through life transitions, parenting challenges, and self-esteem struggles. She has substantial experience working in school settings and as an art therapist, and has supported individuals facing bullying, discrimination, relationship difficulties, and parenting concerns.

Her approach blends talk-based therapy with simple art techniques when helpful, creating opportunities for clearer communication and emotional expression even when there is no single problem to solve. Nadia keeps her style open and light, emphasizing respect, curiosity, and human connection in the counseling relationship. She draws on cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and rational-emotive strategies to help clients identify practical goals and break those goals into small, manageable steps.

Nadia emphasizes the importance of self-care and the idea that attending to one’s own needs can be a healthy, necessary practice. She works with individuals across a range of ages and backgrounds, including young adults and those navigating postpartum concerns, multicultural issues, and experiences of prejudice and discrimination. Nadia invites prospective clients to explore therapy as a collaborative process aimed at building self-love, resilience, and clearer coping strategies.

Integrating CBT and Humanistic Care in Online Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical skills to change them. In Nadia Samhouri’s practice, CBT techniques can help clients address low self-esteem, manage stress during life transitions, and develop concrete coping strategies for parenting challenges.

Humanistic approaches emphasize empathy, respect, and the client’s own capacity for growth. This orientation supports clients in exploring values, building self-love, and finding personal meaning, which can be especially helpful for young adults and people dealing with multicultural concerns or experiences of discrimination.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Nadia works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques and pacing so that steps feel achievable and aligned with each person’s circumstances.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different days and comfort levels. This range of options helps make consistent support more accessible for people balancing work, family, or other commitments, while still allowing therapists to use structured methods like CBT alongside humanistic, client-centered care.
