About Mohammad

Mohammad Bader is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Oregon. He combines 25 years of experience with a direct, steady approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and ADHD. He speaks English and Arabic and aims to make sessions practical and understandable.

Mohammad creates a calm space where clients can name what feels hard and try small, usable changes. He listens without judgment and helps people sort out priorities, habits, and reactions that get in the way of daily life.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on clear goals and real steps clients can take between meetings. He uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and from acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and take meaningful action. Emotionally-focused ideas guide work on relationship concerns and feelings that keep coming back.

The approach is collaborative and centered on the person’s needs rather than on labels. Mohammad also brings focused attention to issues like trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, multicultural stress, and first responder concerns. He helps people navigate identity-related challenges such as gender dysphoria, immigration stress, and prejudice or discrimination.

Practical coping skills are paired with space to process painful experiences. When starting, he works with each person to set achievable goals and a realistic plan. Sessions can include talk-based coaching, behavioral experiments, and short at-home practices aimed at steady progress.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then take actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and for people who feel pulled away from what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. CBT often helps with worry, sleep problems, and day-to-day coping. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens and follows the client's pace to build insight and self-direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mohammad will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. He often combines elements from different approaches so sessions match what the client wants to try, and he checks in regularly to adjust the plan together.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. Video allows full conversation and visual cues, phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging work well for quick check-ins or when written reflection helps. These options increase flexibility and help people continue steady progress without added travel time.
