About Iman

Iman Cayard offers focused support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and other life disruptions. She draws on eight years of clinical experience to help clients identify unhelpful coping patterns and develop practical skills for managing emotional and behavioral difficulties.

Background and approach

Her practice emphasizes helping people regain functioning and move through transitions with greater confidence and resilience. She uses a range of evidence-informed methods, tailoring interventions to each person’s situation.

Trained as an MD and holding LCSW-C and LCSW licensure, she has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings and provided telehealth care for multiple years. Her background includes individual, couples, family, and group work, and she attends to a broad set of concerns from mood disorders and trauma to intimacy-related and career issues.

Clients can expect a collaborative, skill-building approach that focuses on replacing unhealthy responses with healthier alternatives and supporting gradual, sustainable change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care

Iman often integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) when working with clients. CBT focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, while DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills useful for intense moods and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to evaluate needs, preferences, and goals, and then adapts techniques so treatment fits the individual rather than forcing a single method. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved in planning and measuring progress over time.

Online sessions are available via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible for different lifestyles and time zones. These formats allow ongoing access to therapeutic tools and support without requiring in-person visits, enabling continuity of care during life transitions or when in-person options are limited.
