Background and approach

Young adults who are navigating transitions are another area she addresses. Sessions are shaped around what a person needs and prefers. Sharareh uses conversation to identify priorities, then builds simple strategies to try between meetings.

She emphasizes practical skills people can use right away to reduce worry and improve coping. Her approach blends methods that focus on thoughts and behaviors, motivation for change, and parts-based work to understand inner experience. That mix lets her tailor a plan for different kinds of problems and goals.

Clients can expect a collaborative process where goals are set together. She communicates in English and Persian and sees clients in California. The initial steps are straightforward: a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling.

The therapist frames early sessions around what feels most useful for each person and adjusts as progress is made.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Sharareh uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety and stress and focuses on practical exercises and new ways of responding.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. This approach relies on open conversation to build motivation and clarify personal goals. Internal Family Systems is another tool she draws on to help clients understand different parts of themselves and how those parts influence feelings and choices.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as things progress.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video works well for longer sessions and visual connection. Phone sessions are a good alternative when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when someone prefers writing instead of speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life demands.
