Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's own experience, offering a supportive environment where the individual leads the pace and direction of work while the therapist reflects understanding and encourages self-discovery. This approach is well suited to people facing life transitions, self-esteem concerns, and relational challenges.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical tools to shift those patterns. It is commonly used to address anxiety, depression, stress, and difficulties with coping skills by teaching concrete strategies for change.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can help clients who struggle with intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and self-destructive coping by building skills to manage overwhelming feelings and improve interaction with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Yasaman collaborates with each client to determine which combination of methods best matches their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule care around work, family, and daily life. These formats provide accessible ways to continue consistent work with a licensed professional from a location that fits the client's routine.
