About Mazda
Mazda Lakpour is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who focuses on practical ways to reduce stress and manage anger. He helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by life changes, anxiety, addictions, grief, or work strain. His approach aims to make daily life feel more manageable so people can move forward one step at a time.
Mazda uses clear, goal-oriented methods that mix talk therapy with guided mental techniques. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and build new habits.
Background and approach
He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, achievable goals and track progress quickly. Hypnotherapy and mindfulness practices appear in sessions when they fit a person’s needs. Those tools are offered as ways to calm the body, improve focus, and reshape reactions to stress.
Sessions tend to be active and practical rather than long on theory. With 14 years of clinical experience, Mazda works from California as an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. He offers care in English and Persian and supports people navigating relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, workplace conflict, and questions about life purpose or self-worth.
People looking for short-term coaching or longer therapy work can expect straightforward conversations, repeated practice, and measurable steps. The aim is to build skills that help outside of the session and make everyday life easier to handle.

Therapeutic tools and online care that fit your life
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and change them into more helpful ones. It is often used for anxiety, anger, and mood problems and focuses on building new habits through practice. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to support shifts in thinking and behavior; it can help with stress, habit change, and improving focus.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Mazda will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try approaches that match those needs. Sessions often mix techniques so people can find what works best in real life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, while phone calls can fit a shorter check-in or lower bandwidth. Live chat and messaging let people send updates, try homework, and check in between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family schedules while keeping the focus on progress and usable skills.
