Lama Alhezayen

Lama Alhezayen is a Kansas-based licensed social worker with 14 years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, or issues related to LGBTQ+ identity. She also supports people coping with eating concerns and feelings of isolation and loneliness. Lama aims to make the first step feel manageable and affirms the courage it takes to begin therapy.

She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to talk through thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on understanding patterns that keep problems stuck and on small changes that can make daily life easier. Lama listens for what matters most to each person and works collaboratively on practical next steps.

Her approach is straightforward and conversational. She helps clients name difficult emotions, notice how relationships affect mood, and practice responses that reduce stress. Expect clear guidance, reflective listening, and tailored suggestions you can try between sessions.

Lama draws on 14 years of front-line experience to help people manage trauma reactions, attachment worries, and relationship stresses like communication or commitment concerns. She also assists with caregiver strain, body image, and issues that follow separation or domestic violence.

Sessions are offered in English and Arabic, and she welcomes international clients. To begin, clients follow the platform’s Start Therapy process and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How Lama uses evidence-based techniques online

Many evidence-based techniques focus on noticing thoughts and changing unhelpful patterns. One such approach helps people identify anxious or negative thoughts and practice more balanced ways of thinking to reduce worry and reactivity. This method can be useful for stress, anxiety, and depression.

Another approach centers on working through trauma and its effects on daily life. It emphasizes building safety, naming what happened, and learning coping skills to manage memories and emotions. This helps people who struggle with past abuse or overwhelming events.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they try methods and adjust plans until something feels like a good fit.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - sessions can be scheduled around work, family, or caregiving duties, and some formats shorten check-ins when time is tight. Talk with the therapist during the intake to discuss which session setup would best match needs and daily routines.
