Background and approach
Her work draws on several practical approaches, including client-centered methods that put the person's goals first. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when feelings feel overwhelming.
Yasaman also brings mindfulness and existential ideas into conversations to help people find meaning and stay present. She supports those coping with grief, burnout, compassion fatigue, and identity questions. She helps people explore family of origin issues and long-standing patterns like codependency.
With three years of experience as an LPC, Yasaman blends listening with concrete steps. She works with people facing substance use concerns, anger, intimacy-related issues, and life transitions. Her style is direct, warm, and practical so parents and busy adults can get clear, usable support.

04Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Yasaman often uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the client’s goals at the center of each session. This means she listens carefully, reflects what she hears, and helps people set aims that feel meaningful and realistic. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and depressive patterns.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they try methods and adjust the plan over time so the work stays relevant and useful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and skills practice, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging can serve as quick check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to keep regular contact and to use therapy around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities.
