About Mazda

Mazda Lakpour is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California who helps people dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, and life changes. He aims to help clients get their feet on the ground, improve relationships, and see life more clearly. Mazda speaks English and Persian and brings 14 years of clinical experience to his work.

Mazda uses an integrative, practical style in sessions. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. He also uses hypnotherapy along with mindfulness techniques to teach calmer focus and reduce reactivity. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set clear, achievable goals and build small steps toward change.

In conversations he helps people tackle mood and anxiety problems, anger and stress management, co-occurring disorders, adjustment after life transitions, and issues around self-esteem and personal growth. He also addresses relationship problems, parenting strain, workplace issues, addiction concerns, grief, and intimacy-related topics.

Mazda combines psychology, hypnosis, meditation, and imagery in tailored sessions. He frames therapy as collaborative work, helping clients pick practical tools that fit their life and goals. Sessions are geared toward clear steps and real-world practice between meetings.

Approaches used in remote sessions and how they help

Mazda often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and changing everyday habits.

He also brings in hypnotherapy and mindfulness techniques to help reduce reactivity and promote a calmer focus. Hypnotherapy can support relaxation and imagery work, while mindfulness helps with attention, emotional regulation, and coping with distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mazda collaborates with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean more CBT-focused sessions for clear behavior change, or a blend of mindfulness and hypnotherapy for stress and sleep concerns.

If you are considering online work, confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Many people appreciate online sessions for fitting therapy into a busy life - they can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to remote settings so practical skill-building and goal progress continue between meetings.
