About Yasaman
Yasaman Sherbaf is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage anxiety, stress, and life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable for someone looking for real help. She uses practical talk and active listening to understand what matters to each person.
Sessions often focus on problems such as anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and struggles with self-esteem or relationships. Yasaman helps clients notice patterns that cause pain and works with them to try different ways of coping.
Background and approach
Her background includes three years of clinical experience as a Virginia LPC. That experience includes supporting people facing trauma, substance use concerns, career stress, and compassion fatigue. She also spends time working through themes like abandonment, codependency, and family of origin issues.
In sessions Yasaman draws from client-centered methods to follow each person's lead. She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thought patterns and dialectical behavior techniques to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Mindfulness and existential ideas are woven in to help people find meaning and calm in daily life.
Therapy with her is collaborative. She helps clients set practical goals, practice new skills between sessions, and check progress over time. People who want support in English or Spanish can work with her to address both immediate worries and longer-term growth.
Online approaches that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. The therapist creates space for people to set their goals and guide the direction of sessions while offering empathetic feedback and support.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and many day-to-day problems because it includes concrete exercises and homework to try between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skill-building for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal communication. These tools help when feelings feel overwhelming or when relationships are a repeated source of stress.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can shift as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial cues and hold longer sessions, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat is good for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports work between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit sessions into work, family, or travel schedules while still accessing licensed professionals.
