About Yas
Yas Farrokhseresht is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Texas with 15 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage depression, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, and relationship challenges. Yas speaks English and Persian and aims to make therapy understandable and practical for everyday life.
She begins by listening to the person in front of her and understanding what matters most. Sessions focus on clear goals like reducing panic, improving communication, or coping after a difficult event.
Background and approach
Yas uses evidence-based techniques and adapts them to each person’s situation rather than following one fixed method. Her work often addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, feelings of isolation, and the emotional fallout from domestic violence or divorce. She also helps people facing financial stress, midlife transitions, and the ongoing challenges of mood instability or bipolar disorder.
Conversations steer toward building concrete skills that can be used between sessions. Yas pays attention to cultural background and how it affects beliefs about relationships and mental health. That perspective shapes how she frames problems and suggests solutions.
The emphasis is on practical steps and clearer communication rather than on jargon. People who choose this approach can expect straightforward sessions that balance emotional support with actionable strategies. The aim is measurable progress: fewer overwhelming moments, better day-to-day functioning, and stronger coping tools.
To begin, a short matching process connects people to scheduling options that fit their needs.
How evidence-based techniques work online
Yas uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and emotional understanding. One approach emphasizes practical coping skills for anxiety and depression, teaching breathing, grounding, and activity planning to reduce overwhelming feelings. Another approach addresses relationship and attachment concerns by improving communication, recognizing patterns, and practicing new ways to connect. Each method is presented in straightforward steps people can try between sessions.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist listens to the person’s current struggles, goals, and preferences and then suggests options to try. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan over time so sessions stay relevant and useful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let the therapist and client work face-to-face when a deeper conversation is needed. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to keep consistent contact, check in between sessions, or fit therapy into a busy day. These options aim to make it simpler to keep therapy part of everyday life.
