She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find motivation and make gradual changes.
Mindfulness practices and brief interpersonal methods are offered to ease anxiety, insomnia, and grief. She has long experience in community mental health and has worked with a wide range of concerns, including trauma and loss, parenting stress, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and career transitions. Froogh offers a welcoming space for LGBT and other marginalized communities and supports exploration of identity and self-esteem.
Sessions are offered in English and Persian and are available through several remote formats. Froogh can support people working through life changes, improving communication, and rebuilding after setbacks.
Therapeutic approaches that translate well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them, which can reduce worry and improve sleep. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and attachment, helping partners or individuals understand their emotional responses and improve communication and connection.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs, and adjust the plan based on what proves most helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits a schedule. Messaging and live chat can support ongoing tracking of progress, quick check-ins between sessions, and people who prefer writing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and maintain continuity during transitions.
