Yasaman Sherbaf

Yasaman Sherbaf is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing anger, stress, anxiety, and addiction-related struggles. She builds a calm, straightforward space where clients can talk about relationship tensions, self-esteem concerns, grief, and big life changes. Sessions are conversational and focused on practical steps clients can try between meetings.

Yasaman uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She draws on client-centered work to listen deeply and help people feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness practices offer tools for managing strong emotions in the moment.

Her background includes work with people dealing with family problems, domestic violence effects, substance use, and issues tied to shame, guilt, and abandonment. She pays attention to cultural context and aims to respect each person’s experiences as they come through the door. This helps when addressing relationship conflict or feelings of isolation.

Yasaman works in English and Spanish, which broadens who she can speak with effectively. She emphasizes collaboration - clients and therapist figure out goals together and track progress. Her LPC credential stands for Licensed Professional Counselor and indicates state licensure in Virginia.

Clients can expect clear, practical strategies alongside empathetic listening. Conversations will include goal-setting, skill practice, and checking what actually helps in daily life. The focus is on steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes.

Approach and online therapy that fits your life

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a strong working relationship. The therapist follows the client's lead, asking questions and reflecting back what she hears so people feel understood and can set realistic goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify patterns of thought that feed anger and anxiety. Small experiments and behavior changes are used between sessions so clients can test what works in real life.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills. These techniques are helpful when strong feelings make it hard to think clearly or manage impulses.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. This feels like testing tools together and keeping what helps.

Confirm available session formats before booking, as current options are listed on the therapist's profile. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into busy lives. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people meet from locations that save time or reduce logistical barriers. Many clients find that doing skill practice between sessions is simpler when therapy fits into their regular routine.
