Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Behnaz integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy into her online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental stance where the therapist listens closely and supports clients in exploring their own values and feelings; this approach is helpful for people working through relationship issues, questions about life purpose, and emotional processing. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and teaching practical strategies to shift those patterns; CBT is often useful for anxiety, stress, anger, and impulsivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Behnaz works collaboratively with each person to determine what methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts interventions over time so therapy stays relevant and effective for each client.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect with licensed professionals, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, maintain continuity of care when travel or location is a factor, and select the communication style that feels most comfortable for the client.
