Yasaman Sherbaf, LPC

Yasaman Sherbaf is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, and relationship challenges. She offers straightforward support for grief, low self-esteem, anger, and life changes. Sessions are meant to help people find clearer direction and practical steps forward.

She uses a collaborative style that centers the person's goals and choices. In the room she listens for patterns in relationships, family dynamics, and communication that get in the way. Together clients and she work on building healthier habits around boundaries, emotional regulation, and connection.

Her work includes attention to substance use and codependency, along with trauma and abuse recovery. She brings mindfulness and cognitive tools to help people respond differently to old triggers and painful memories. That can look like learning new coping skills, changing unhelpful thinking, or practicing tolerating strong emotions.

Yasaman also supports people exploring identity, life purpose, and career shifts. She frames these conversations in everyday terms and focuses on small, doable changes that fit each person’s life. Her practice is framed around respect for cultural background and bilingual support in English and Spanish.

She has three years of clinical experience and uses approaches including client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, existential questions, and mindfulness practices. Prospective clients are invited to start with a short questionnaire to match with her and schedule a first session.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and strengths. The therapist follows the client’s pace, reflects what’s important, and helps people set practical goals for relationships, addiction recovery, or life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and then replace them with more useful ones. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by practicing new skills between sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for handling intense emotions, improving regulation, and building better communication. It can be useful when people struggle with strong mood swings, impulsive behavior, or relationship conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That process may change as needs shift over time.

Confirm the current session options before booking to know which formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family, or travel. It also lets people join from different locations and reduces commute time, so check which arrangements the therapist offers when you schedule.
