About Nelly
Dr. Nelly Gregorian-DeLeon is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 15 years of clinical experience. She practices from North Carolina and works with people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, depression, anxiety, stress, anger, and related concerns. Sessions are offered in English, Armenian, and Persian and she accepts international clients.
She uses straightforward, talk-based work that focuses on what is happening now and what the person wants to change. Dr. Gregorian-DeLeon draws on several therapeutic ideas to match the approach to the issue. That can mean addressing unhelpful thoughts, looking at personal meaning, or exploring early relationship patterns that keep repeating.
Clients dealing with traumatic events, difficult breakups, or ongoing conflict can work on practical coping skills and communication changes. For anger specifically, she helps people notice triggers, practice alternative ways of responding, and repair relationships after outbursts. She also supports people handling grief, caregiver stress, and burnout related to compassion fatigue.
Her background includes long experience with domestic violence and sexual abuse cases, as well as work with people who have had childhood trauma. She reports using hypnotherapy and Jungian-informed ideas alongside cognitive and client-centered approaches. Sessions emphasize clear goals, small steps, and regular review of progress.
People who prefer to speak in Armenian or Persian can use those languages. To begin, clients follow the site's matching steps and schedule a first meeting to set goals and plan next steps.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Dr. Gregorian-DeLeon often combines client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in her practice. Client-centered work focuses on the persons perspective, using open conversation to clarify goals and priorities. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behavior, teaching practical skills to test unhelpful thoughts and try new responses.She also draws on existential ideas when questions about meaning, purpose, or life transitions are central. That approach helps people name what matters to them and decide on realistic next steps. These methods are discussed openly with the client so they can pick what feels most useful; the therapist helps make that decision collaboratively based on needs and preferences.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking since the biography did not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow consistent check-ins during stressful periods. Different formats can also suit lower-bandwidth connections or quick check-ins when a brief touchpoint is needed. The focus will remain on concrete skills, clearer communication, and steps to manage anger and related concerns during everyday life.
