Najamulsahr "Najam" Mehmood , LPC

Najamulsahr "Najam" Mehmood is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with 15 years of clinical experience. She moved from a medical background into full-time psychotherapy and now focuses on helping people find steadier footing when life feels overwhelming.

Najam works with people facing stress and anxiety. She helps when depression, trauma, or abuse have made daily life harder. Relationship and family concerns are also part of her practice, including communication problems and separation issues.

Her approach blends practical talk therapy with mindfulness and hypnotherapy to match each person’s needs. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps - for example calming techniques, boundary work, and ways to reframe painful memories. She aims for care that is respectful and sensitive.

Najam pays attention to deeper patterns such as attachment and abandonment wounds that affect relationships. She also supports people coping with guilt, shame, isolation, or struggles around life purpose and self-worth. Work can include processing trauma-related symptoms like post-traumatic stress.

She offers therapy in English and Urdu. People choosing her practice can expect straightforward conversation, coping tools to use between sessions, and a steady focus on goals that matter to them.

Practical approaches for online care and healing

Najam uses a combination of mindful practice and hypnotherapy alongside conversational therapy. Mindfulness teaches simple attention and breathing exercises that reduce stress and quiet anxious thoughts, which can help with anxiety, mood issues, and symptoms after trauma. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help reframe negative beliefs and ease intense emotional reactions, useful for guilt, shame, and persistent intrusive memories.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Najam will work with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, life context, and comfort level. She revisits the plan as needs change and encourages clients to give feedback about what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break in a busy day. Live chat and text messaging make quick check-ins possible and can help maintain continuity between longer sessions. These options make it easier to stick with therapy around work, caregiving, and other commitments.
