Explore My Journey So Far
My Mission
I help teens and adults who feel stressed, sad, or stuck. My mission is to offer kind, online therapy where you feel heard, not judged. I use simple, proven tools from CBT and Motivational Interviewing to help you understand your thoughts and feelings and take small, steady steps toward healing.
As a Pakistani Muslim woman and researcher, I offer care that respects your culture, faith, and values. We explore these only if they matter to you. Together we build clarity, resilience, and emotional ease.

ABOUT ME
I’m Hifza Rabbani, a clinical psychologist offering online therapy for individuals who feel overwhelmed by their thoughts, emotions, relationships, or life transitions. I believe healing happens when people feel truly understood without judgment, labels, or pressure to “fix” themselves.
My work is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and evidence-based practices. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI), tailoring each session to the unique experiences, values, and pace of the person in front of me. I work with teenagers and adults navigating anxiety, depression, excessive worry, emotional distress, relationship concerns, and life changes.
Alongside my clinical practice, I have a strong research background and I am a two-time published researcher, with my most recent work published in BMC Women’s Health, focusing on women’s psychological wellbeing. This research foundation informs my commitment to evidence-based and ethically grounded care. Building on this, I have also worked at the intersection of psychology and technology, contributing to the development of human-centered AI tools for mental health, allowing me to integrate scientific rigor with real-world empathy in my therapeutic work.
As a Pakistani Muslim woman, I offer a culturally sensitive and inclusive space, where faith, culture, and personal values are respected and explored only if and when they feel relevant to you. Therapy with me is not about having all the answers, it is about slowing down, making sense of what you are carrying, and moving toward clarity, resilience, and emotional ease, one step at a time.
