About Masi
Masi Kadzai helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and trauma. She supports those dealing with relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, sleep problems, parenting stress, and career concerns. Masi also works with mood disorders, ADHD symptoms, and intimacy-related issues.
Masi is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, or LCSW, practicing in Illinois with six years of experience. She views each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on.
Background and approach
Her approach is practical and straightforward, and she aims to make the first steps feel less overwhelming. In sessions she uses tools from cognitive behavioral work, acceptance and commitment ideas, dialectical skills, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. That means clients learn ways to change unhelpful thinking, accept difficult feelings, build emotional regulation skills, and find motivation for change.
Sessions focus on small, usable steps that fit daily life. Masi pays attention to culture and life context, and she brings that into planning each person's care. She also addresses specific concerns such as abandonment, control struggles, isolation, and finding life purpose.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth, aiming to create a steady path forward. People may choose video, phone, chat, or text-based messaging for sessions. Masi works with international clients as well, and sessions are conducted in English.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and finding motivation when life feels stalled. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and changing behaviors to reduce symptoms. It is often used for anxiety, panic, mood disorders, and sleep or anger concerns.Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life, then try methods that fit. Together they check what works and adjust the plan as needed so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are close to face-to-face sessions and work well for deeper conversations. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, and a way to work through issues without being on camera. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, travel, or different time zones.
