About Yasaman

Yasaman Sherbaf is a licensed professional counselor in Virginia who works with people seeking relief from anxiety, stress, depression, addiction, and challenges with relationships and self-worth.

Background and approach

She emphasizes practical support for those wrestling with trauma, grief, anger, or the disruption that comes with life transitions, including concerns related to ADHD. Her bilingual fluency in English and Spanish helps her address cultural dimensions of care and connect with clients who prefer either language.

Her style blends evidence-informed techniques with a warm, client-centered stance that prioritizes each person's goals and values. Yasaman draws on cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior tools, existential reflection, and mindfulness practices to help clients build coping skills, improve communication, and navigate patterns such as codependency or substance use.

With three years of professional experience and the credential LPC, she frames therapy as a collaborative process focused on discovering strengths and workable steps toward meaningful change.

Approaches That Support Growth in Online Care

Client-centered therapy places the client's experience and goals at the forefront, creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead to explore values and priorities; this approach helps people clarify what matters most and build motivation for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and patterns related to addiction or stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for intense emotions and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will work collaboratively to assess needs, try strategies, and refine the plan so modalities align with a client's goals, preferences, and life context rather than prescribing a single method from the start.

Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging increase flexibility for scheduling and allow people to access licensed professionals from different locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, fit therapy into busy routines, and use different communication modes depending on comfort and therapeutic tasks.
