Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits that reduce anxiety and low mood. Sessions are tailored to the individual's goals and pace. Yalda has a background supporting people affected by trauma and emotional abuse.

She also helps with stress, panic attacks, mood swings, addictions, and relationship difficulties. She pays attention to attachment and communication patterns that often show up in relationships. Parents and people facing end-of-life concerns will find focused support for grief, hospice-related decisions, and complicated feelings like guilt and shame.

She also addresses compassion fatigue for caregivers and professionals who feel burned out. Therapy sessions may include skill building, behavior changes, and problem-solving around daily challenges. The emphasis is on steady progress and practical tools that fit each person's life.

International clients can work with her, and she offers several online formats to make scheduling easier.

Online support

Client-Centered and CBT Online

Yalda uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the person's own goals and pace, offering a respectful space where concerns are heard and understood. This approach helps when someone needs a calm place to sort feelings and decide what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot patterns of thinking that feed anxiety or low mood and to build practical skills. CBT is helpful for panic attacks, mood disorders, social anxiety, and habits related to addiction or avoidance.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen, try different techniques as needed, and collaborate on what seems to help most. This makes it easier to adjust focus over time based on progress and changing needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people connect face to face for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick reflections, follow-ups, or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options make therapy more flexible and allow scheduling that fits daily life.
