Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take committed action toward those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise - it is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical skills to change them, which can be effective for anxiety, mood concerns, and relationship difficulties. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the specific effects of traumatic events by creating a safe framework to process memories and reduce their ongoing impact, supporting recovery from abuse and other traumatic experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to explore which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and may blend techniques from different approaches to create a tailored plan. Zohreh aims to involve clients in decisions about their care so that treatment feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it possible to connect from home or elsewhere. These options can increase accessibility and convenience, letting people fit sessions into busy lives and continue consistent work toward their goals with licensed professionals and therapists.
