About Bushra
LMSW licensed clinical social worker in Michigan with 8 years of practice, Bushra Alsafari helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, depression, and low confidence. She holds a Master of Social Work and uses approaches including mindfulness and cognitive behavioral work to guide sessions.
Bushra frames sessions around open conversation and practical steps. She encourages people to name what they’re feeling and to try small changes between meetings. Her work often blends mindfulness practices with thought-focused techniques to reduce worry and increase coping skills.
In sessions she uses client-centered techniques to listen and respond to each person’s priorities. Motivational interviewing is applied when people are working through substance use or other behavior changes. Solution-focused strategies help set short-term goals and track progress.
She aims to make each meeting straightforward and action-oriented. That may look like practicing a breathing exercise, identifying an unhelpful thought, or setting a tiny, concrete goal for the week. People who prefer direct, skills-based work tend to find this style easy to follow.
Bushra works in English and practices in Michigan. Her background combines social work training with eight years of hands-on clinical experience. To begin, readers are asked to use the site's matching and scheduling flow to set up a first appointment.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Bushra commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to lower reactivity and support present-moment awareness.She also uses client-centered techniques to listen closely and align work with each person's goals. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and adjust methods as they go.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid commuting time. When working on behavioral changes or practicing skills, online sessions can still support exercises like guided breathing, thought record worksheets, and brief goal planning that carry into daily life.
