Background and approach

She offers sessions in English and is able to work with international clients. Zarina holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential and is also a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. She has four years of clinical experience and practices from South Carolina.

Her work focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, family and parenting challenges, and navigating life changes. In sessions she listens for the everyday patterns that create strain, then helps parents try small changes that can shift interactions at home. She also addresses caregiver stress, communication problems, feelings of guilt and shame, and issues around control.

When helpful, she brings in playful or art-based activities to invite expression and reduce pressure. Her aim is to help people talk differently, reduce tension, and strengthen connection over time. To get started, a parent can follow the site's intake steps to match with her and schedule a first session.

Approaches and online care that fit busy family life

Zarina draws on practical, evidence-based techniques that focus on changes parents can use right away. One approach emphasizes skill-building for communication and emotion regulation, helping parents and children notice triggering patterns and try alternative responses to reduce arguing and withdrawal. Another approach uses brief, behavior-focused strategies to support confidence and independence in children through small, repeatable routines and clear expectations.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Zarina treats this as a collaborative process - she listens to your goals, tries methods that match your needs, and adjusts the plan as you learn what helps most. Together you decide what to try next based on progress and family life demands.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for in-depth conversations and guided activities. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or camera time is limited. Live chat or messaging lets parents fit short check-ins into busy days or follow up between appointments. These options make it easier to balance therapy with family routines and work schedules.
