Lama Alhezayen

Lama Alhezayen is a Kansas-licensed social worker (LSCSW) with 14 years of professional experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, LGBTQ+ questions, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, and depression. Her practice is framed around straightforward conversation and practical support for people feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

In sessions she encourages honest talk about thoughts and feelings. She aims to reduce shame and isolation and to improve day-to-day functioning. Conversations often focus on concrete steps to manage symptoms and improve communication with others.

Lama values clear goals and collaborative planning. She listens for patterns linked to attachment, abandonment, or avoidant tendencies, and she helps clients consider how those patterns affect relationships and choices. Work can include addressing body image, caregiver stress, or difficulties after divorce and separation.

People also bring issues like impulsivity, guilt and shame, or problems with commitment and dependence. Lama will talk through what matters most and help set small, achievable changes. She notes that progress often comes from testing new ways of relating rather than from assuming immediate change.

Sessions are offered in English and Arabic, and she accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.

Evidence-based techniques and online sessions

Many clients come with stress, anxiety, trauma, or questions about identity. Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical skills and clear goals. One common approach teaches skills for managing anxiety and stress, such as grounding, pacing, and stepwise behavior changes that reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Another approach looks at attachment and relational patterns to identify how past losses or abandonment influence current relationships and decisions, helping clients notice and change repeating patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods and decide together which fits the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape sessions that focus on immediate concerns and longer-term patterns alike.

The profile does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some formats also let people choose audio-only meetings if bandwidth or a shorter visit is preferable. Ask about the exact session types available when you sign up.
