Background and approach
That experience shaped a focus on trauma, grief, and the ways anxiety and compulsive behaviors can affect daily life. She also pays attention to how identity and multicultural factors influence a person’s well-being. In sessions she draws on client-centered methods that prioritize each person’s voice.
Cognitive behavioral tools are used to notice unhelpful thoughts and build different habits. Mindfulness and solution-focused strategies are added to create practical steps and small changes that feel doable. Her style is collaborative and goal-oriented.
She helps clients set concrete next steps and checks in on progress. For people dealing with addiction or impulse concerns, she integrates motivational techniques to support sustained change. Sepideh offers sessions in English and works with people in Tennessee as well as international clients.
She provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences.
How these therapy approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. The therapist creates space for people to speak about what matters most to them and helps them clarify values and goals. This approach is useful when someone needs a supportive, nonjudgmental place to sort through feelings and choices.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Sessions include practical exercises and homework to build different habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, and compulsive behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are often paired with CBT to improve attention and reduce reactivity.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. Together they adjust the plan based on what is working and what feels meaningful to the client.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules and for people who cannot attend in person. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text options make shorter check-ins or step-by-step coaching possible. These formats let licensed professionals provide consistent support without requiring travel, making it easier to keep progress moving forward.
