About Zehra

Zehra Dos Santos helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She names strengths you already have and works alongside you to build everyday coping skills. Zehra is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - practicing in California and speaks English.

Her style is straightforward and supportive. Sessions focus on what matters now and on small changes that feel doable. She encourages clients to notice their values and to act in ways that match those values.

Background and approach

Work together looks like short-term goals, practical skills, and regular check-ins on progress. Zehra draws from several approaches to fit each person. She uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people move toward what matters.

Cognitive behavioral tools help spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness and emotion regulation skills are used when strong feelings get in the way of daily life. She brings three years of clinical experience in California settings.

That experience includes helping people with communication struggles, control issues, feelings of abandonment, and questions about life purpose. Zehra also supports concerns tied to immigration, aging, forgiveness, and women's issues. Sessions are collaborative and paced to a person's needs.

Zehra aims to create a calm, practical space where people can try new ways of coping and notice progress over time.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions that match those values even when emotions are difficult. ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, and decisions around life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems in place and teaching practical skills to change them, which is helpful for anxiety and depression. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and build steady attention during strong emotions.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try techniques that fit, and adjust plans based on what helps. Clients and the therapist work together to test different strategies and pick what feels most useful.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller face-to-face conversation and observing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can fit into a busy schedule or use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins and written reflections that people can review later. These options make it easier to keep regular sessions and apply skills between meetings.
