About Maryam
Maryam Farahvashi is a Texas Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with five years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, and life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can try between meetings and clearer thinking about next moves.
Maryam sees clients who struggle with communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, and social anxiety or phobia. She also helps people who are trying to make sense of life purpose after a big change. Her approach treats each conversation as a place to notice strengths and test small changes.
In sessions she encourages people to name what feels most urgent and workable. She offers straightforward reflections and concrete strategies rather than long theoretical explanations. The goal is to make problems feel more manageable and to find behaviors that move someone forward in day-to-day life.
Maryam describes clients as the experts on their stories and uses that perspective to build on what already works. She helps people experiment with new ways of relating, communicating, and making decisions. Practical skills and short-term goal setting are common elements of her work.
People who reach out typically want support sorting emotions, repairing communication, or coping after loss. To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online process provided.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions fit
Maryam uses evidence-based techniques that help people manage distress and make clearer decisions. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches practical coping tools for anxiety and stress, such as paced breathing, activity scheduling, and brief behavioral experiments to test new ways of responding.Another approach focuses on grief and loss, helping people name feelings, process what changed, and find manageable steps to adapt. This often includes clarifying values and small routines that support daily functioning after a loss.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maryam collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She reviews what feels helpful and adjusts techniques based on progress and feedback.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel to appointments. Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are listed during the sign-up process. The subscription model used for sessions can be canceled at any time, which may make it easier to pause or change how therapy fits into everyday life.
