About Parinaz
Parinaz Fard-Aghaie is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self esteem, and depression. She works with people who want clearer coping strategies and more confidence in daily life. Her style aims to be respectful and straightforward so clients can take practical steps forward.
Parinaz believes each person knows their story best. She combines listening with concrete tools to help people manage symptoms and make choices that match their values.
Background and approach
Sessions often involve identifying patterns, testing small changes, and tracking what helps. Her work draws from several approaches, including client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral ideas, narrative techniques, and psychodynamic thinking. She also uses eye movement desensitization and reprocessing when trauma-related memories are part of the picture.
These tools are selected to match what a person needs rather than used all at once. With three years of professional experience and a Florida LMHC credential, Parinaz brings a calm, patient manner to sessions. She encourages people to notice strengths and build on them.
Progress is often steady when people try new ways of coping between meetings. Parinaz offers sessions in English and works online by video, phone, chat, or text messaging. Getting started begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling the first session once a plan is in place.
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so people can explore their goals and values. It helps when someone needs an accepting space to figure out what matters and to plan next steps.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behaviors. It uses practical exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns, which can reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning.
EMDR, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, works with distressing memories by using guided bilateral stimulation alongside focused recall. It is often used when past events continue to cause strong emotional reactions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that seem likely to help, and adjust the plan based on what feels most useful. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools to use and when to change course.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video helps when visual connection matters, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited, chat or text can fit short check-ins or busy schedules. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work, school, or family life while still using the therapeutic approaches described above.
