She works closely with each person to shape a treatment plan that fits their goals and pace. That collaborative planning helps people gain confidence as they practice new ways of coping. She offers sessions in English and Armenian and provides multiple online formats to fit different lives.
Ani encourages anyone who is ready to explore change to take a small step and begin the matching process on the site.
Evidence-based techniques and online care
Ani uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach she relies on emphasizes building coping skills and managing anxiety through step-by-step techniques that people can practice between sessions; this approach helps with panic attacks, chronic worry, and stress management. Another common focus is work informed by addiction counseling practice, which centers on understanding triggers, strengthening motivation, and creating recovery-oriented routines to reduce substance-related harm and support long-term goals.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Ani works with each person to identify which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts methods over time so the work matches how a person responds and what life demands at that moment.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help the work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit regular therapy into a busy life and stay consistent with treatment.
