About Bushra
Bushra Alsafari is a licensed master social worker practicing in Michigan with eight years of experience. She guides people through stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, depression, low confidence, and anger. Her approach aims to make the first step feel manageable and respectful of each person's pace.
She uses mindfulness practices to help people notice patterns in thought and feeling. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is part of her work to identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and focused on small, practical changes that can reduce stress and improve daily functioning. Bushra creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through hard emotions. She emphasizes listening first, then offering tools tailored to a person’s goals.
Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies are used when a client wants clear steps or help building motivation for change. Her background is in social work, and she holds the credential LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker. That experience informs an emphasis on realistic, usable strategies rather than theory alone.
She aims to help people build coping skills that fit into their routines. People who prefer practical exercises, short-term goal work, and mindfulness will often find her style helpful. Sessions move at a steady, collaborative pace so clients can try new approaches and adjust as needed.

How these approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience without judgment. In online sessions this means the therapist follows your lead, asks open questions, and helps you set goals that matter to you. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses simple exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting. It is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and managing anger.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with you to choose which methods to try based on your goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That may mean mixing mindfulness breathing, CBT skill practice, and short solution-focused steps until you notice progress.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you work face-to-face when conversation and visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits your day. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick updates, journaling-style check-ins, or practicing skills between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, family, and busy schedules.
