Client-centered therapy focuses on listening deeply, validating experiences, and helping people uncover their own strengths and goals.

Determining the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Yalda collaborates with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then tailors methods so therapy feels relevant and manageable. This collaborative process helps clients try strategies and adjust direction as they progress.

Online therapy with Yalda is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varied schedules and life circumstances. These options make it easier to maintain consistent sessions, access support from different locations, and integrate therapy into daily life while working with a licensed professional who adapts care to your needs.
