Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Yasaman commonly integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathic relationship and helps people explore personal values and goals while building self-acceptance. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning. Dialectical behavior therapy offers strategies for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for managing intense emotions and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Yasaman works collaboratively with each person to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors treatment plans and adjusts techniques over time as progress is made.

Online therapy with Yasaman is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home, during work breaks, or while traveling, and support consistent, ongoing care that fits into everyday life.
