About Yasaman
Yasaman Sherbaf is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship and family concerns, and anger. Sessions are available in English and Spanish, and she accepts international clients.
Yasaman focuses on practical conversations that help people manage strong feelings and recurring patterns. She uses plain talk to identify what triggers frustration and resentment. Then she helps clients try different skills for handling those moments more deliberately.
Her work includes support for people facing grief, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and career-related stress. She also helps those navigating bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Addiction and codependency are areas she addresses alongside relationship and intimacy-related issues.
Therapeutic methods Yasaman uses include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, existential reflection, and mindfulness practices. She draws on these approaches to help people notice thoughts and behaviors, practice new coping steps, and reflect on personal values.
Her sessions often look like straightforward skill practice, check-ins about progress, and focused conversation about relationship patterns. She aims to help clients build clearer communication, manage impulses, and reduce the hold that anger or resentment can have on daily life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Yasaman draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her online sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting so the client can name what matters and set goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into steps you can practice between sessions to reduce reactive anger.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy strategies to teach practical skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT-style tools can help when feelings escalate or when someone wants steady routines for coping with strong emotions. Together these approaches offer talk and skill practice rather than quick fixes. Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Yasaman will discuss your goals and preferences and try methods that match your situation. If something doesn't fit, she will adjust the focus and try another technique so the work stays relevant and doable.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into work breaks, use shorter check-ins when time is limited, or practice skills between meetings. The online setting can support consistent skill rehearsal and regular tracking of progress without requiring travel.
