Sehnaz Zor is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey with 17 years of clinical experience and 15 years as a fully licensed clinician. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology in 1994, a Master of Arts in Psychological Counseling in 2001, and completed a Post-Master's Certificate in Professional Counseling in 2003. Since 2003 she has worked in both partial hospital and outpatient settings, developing a broad foundation in individual, group, couples, marriage, and family therapy.

Her clinical work focuses on areas such as depression, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, family conflict, anxiety and stress, anger, adjustment to life changes, and the search for meaning and purpose. She also brings experience addressing trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, bipolar disorder, self-esteem, and the challenges of caregiving and aging. Sehnaz applies a culturally sensitive perspective that recognizes each person’s unique background and strengths.

Sehnaz blends person-centered and humanistic principles with cognitive-behavioral techniques, reality-based strategies, and solution-focused interventions to tailor treatment to each client. Her practice emphasizes respect, professionalism, empathy, and compassion, with an aim to support clients in identifying and overcoming barriers to growth. She works collaboratively to help clients explore patterns, clarify goals, and build practical skills for meaningful change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Sehnaz Zor integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and emotionally-focused therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental relationship where the client’s own perspective guides the process - it is often helpful for issues of self-esteem, life transitions, and building a stronger sense of identity. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and developing practical strategies to change them - it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Emotionally-focused therapy helps partners and family members understand and change patterns of emotional interaction, which can improve communication and restore connection in relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sehnaz will work with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then tailor techniques so the approach fits the individual or couple rather than forcing a single method. Adjustments are made as progress unfolds to ensure the best possible fit.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions around work, caregiving, or other responsibilities and allow licensed professionals to provide consistent, ongoing support across different formats.
