About Najamulsahr

Najamulsahr "Najam" Mehmood is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia with 15 years of professional experience. She trained as a physician earlier in her career and now works full time in psychotherapy. Najam speaks English and Urdu and helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and depression.

Najam often addresses issues that trace back to childhood experiences, including attachment and abandonment concerns. She also works with people facing divorce and separation, communication problems, and feelings of isolation or loneliness. Life purpose and questions about direction are part of her focus when clients feel stuck or uncertain about what comes next.

Her approach includes mindfulness and hypnotherapy alongside other evidence-based therapeutic techniques. In sessions she uses practical exercises, breathing and grounding practices, and reflective conversation to help clients notice patterns and experiment with different responses. Sessions tend to be straightforward and focused on the problems people bring.

Clients can expect conversations about how past experiences shape current feelings and behaviors. Najam pays attention to issues such as guilt, shame, impulsivity, and challenges with self-love. She also works with mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, narcissism concerns, social anxiety and several women’s issues.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Najam integrates mindfulness and hypnotherapy along with other evidence-based techniques. Mindfulness work focuses on simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and calm anxious thinking. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and imagery to access strong emotions and habit patterns, which can be useful for trauma responses and habits that feel hard to change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Najam will discuss what feels most helpful and adjust methods based on a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative decision happens in early sessions and can change as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy day because they avoid travel and can be scheduled around work or family commitments. Online meetings can also allow shorter check-ins when life is hectic, or let someone choose audio over video if that feels more comfortable. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, breathing practices, and reflective tasks to work in remote sessions so the work fits everyday life without requiring a large time commitment.
