Background and approach

Nazanin has worked with people from many different backgrounds and age ranges over the past decade. That experience supports clear, adaptable strategies for common problems like sleep disruption, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She also addresses grief, trauma, and compassion fatigue.

Sessions aim to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try manageable alternatives. She offers concrete tools for managing anger, cravings, and anxiety. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Nazanin encourages people to take small, achievable steps toward change. She helps clients set goals and track what works. Her approach is collaborative and focused on real-life improvements.

Therapeutic approaches used in online care

She commonly uses cognitive-behavioral techniques, which help people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practice different, more helpful responses. This approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and managing cravings.

She also incorporates psycho-education, explaining how stress, mood, and substance use interact so clients can make informed decisions about coping and change. This helps with motivation and understanding relapse triggers.

Mindfulness practices are used to increase moment-to-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Short exercises can help with anxiety management, emotional regulation, and staying present during difficult emotions.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust the plan over time based on what is most helpful.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and learning skills together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow brief exchanges and steady support between sessions. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to access care from different locations.
