Integrated Approaches for Online Care and Skill Building

Yasaman Sherbaf draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where the clientâs priorities and values guide the work - this approach helps with issues like self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, a practical method often applied to anxiety, depression, and coping with stress. Additionally, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques are used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Yasaman works collaboratively with clients to evaluate which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. This partnership helps ensure the work feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into a busy life or different schedules. Working remotely with licensed professionals and therapists can increase access to consistent support while preserving the ability to use practical tools and skills between sessions.
