About Haleh

Haleh Royanian is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Virginia with 25 years of clinical experience. She draws on evidence-based methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and mood-related concerns, and she frequently addresses challenges such as grief, relationship strains, parenting stress, and ADHD.

Background and approach

Her work is informed by cultural sensitivity and attention to each client’s background and circumstances. Royanian combines practical tools and compassionate support to guide clients through transitions like divorce, immigration-related difficulties, caregiver burden, and shifts in family dynamics.

She emphasizes building resilience, improving coping skills, and strengthening self-esteem while attending to issues such as anger, social anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and self-harm risk. Sessions reflect a collaborative stance that honors individual identity and personal goals.

Working in both English and Persian, Royanian offers multiple online session formats, including video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. Costs vary by location and therapist availability and are provided through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

To begin, prospective clients select the Start Therapy button, complete a brief matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

Online approaches grounded in evidence and collaboration

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and take action toward a meaningful life while learning to relate differently to uncomfortable thoughts and feelings; this approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill building, often helping with mood disorders, anxiety, and stress management. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and a collaborative therapeutic relationship to create space for exploration and growth, supporting work on self-esteem, relationship issues, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist will work with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and needs. Sessions are collaborative, with techniques adjusted over time based on what proves most helpful for each person.

Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and accommodate different communication styles. These options provide continuity of care across locations within the constraints of licensure, and they allow therapists to offer consistent support while tailoring session format to a client's routine and comfort.
