About Haleh
Haleh Royanian is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, and major life changes. She works from Virginia and speaks English and Persian. Her approach centers on practical tools and steady support for people feeling overwhelmed by everyday life and big events.
She uses a mix of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered listening to tailor sessions to each person.
Background and approach
That means helping clients notice unhelpful thoughts, try small behavior changes, and clarify what matters to them. Sessions focus on doable steps rather than long explanations. Haleh has worked with people facing trauma, grief, mood challenges, and the strains that come with caregiving, divorce, or immigration.
She pays attention to cultural background and how it shapes stress and resilience. This helps her adapt suggestions so they make sense for each person’s life. In sessions she offers straightforward skills for managing anxiety, routines to reduce overwhelm, and ways to rebuild confidence after loss or conflict.
She also supports people dealing with ADHD, anger, and low self-esteem by breaking problems into small, manageable tasks. The tone is calm and practical. Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Haleh often combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. ACT helps people clarify personal values and take steps that match what matters to them, which can reduce the power of anxious thoughts. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small behavior changes to lower stress and mood symptoms.She treats the choice of approach as a collaborative process. During early sessions she will listen to your goals, try a few techniques, and adjust the plan together based on what feels most helpful. The therapist and client decide which methods fit best for the concern and daily life demands.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video lets you work through exercises and see visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when writing out thoughts helps. These options make it easier to keep regular appointments and practice skills between sessions.
