Hiba Khan , LCSW

Hiba Khan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on practical, compassionate therapy for people facing trauma, addiction, mood struggles, and relationship challenges. She creates a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients can tell their story and work toward clearer coping strategies.

Hiba emphasizes approaches that address trauma and substance use while honoring cultural identity. She regularly supports people navigating grief, anxiety, depression, anger, and major life changes. She also offers help for ADHD, obsessive-compulsive concerns, panic attacks, and mood disorders.

Her work is informed by attention to identity and culture. Hiba affirms LGBTQIA+ clients and people exploring non-monogamous relationships. She also brings an awareness of experiences common to Muslim, Asian, and Middle Eastern communities. Sessions are offered in English, Hindi, and Urdu.

In session she aims to blend skills practice with deeper reflection. Clients can expect concrete tools for managing distress and space to process painful memories and identity concerns. She pays attention to patterns such as abandonment, codependency, and attachment difficulties.

Hiba has four years of clinical experience and holds a Texas LCSW license. Her background includes work with substance use, post-traumatic stress, dissociation, and grief. She helps people find practical steps forward while honoring their cultural context and personal values.

Approach-focused online therapy for trauma and identity

Hiba uses evidence-based techniques aimed at reducing distress and improving daily functioning. One key approach is trauma-focused work that helps people process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity. This style often includes grounding and step-by-step methods to make memories easier to manage and to lower symptoms of post-traumatic stress.

She also uses cognitive-behavioral strategies to help people notice unhelpful thinking and change behavior patterns. Those methods are helpful for anxiety, depression, panic, OCD-related concerns, and habit changes tied to substance use. A third area she draws on is attachment and relational work which looks at patterns like abandonment, codependency, and communication problems so clients can build more stable connections with others.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to match goals, comfort, and priorities to techniques that fit them. Clients and therapist review progress and adjust methods as needed to keep the plan useful.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat can work for quick check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep continuity of care across distance.
