About Parinaz
Parinaz Fard-Aghaie is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with three years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem and depression. She also addresses concerns related to abandonment, attachment, codependency, commitment issues, divorce and separation, domestic violence, family of origin problems, and life purpose.
Parinaz describes clients as the experts in their own stories. In sessions she helps people notice strengths they already have and use those strengths to cope with current challenges. Conversations are practical and focused on what is happening now and what the client wants to change.
Her approach draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques to clarify patterns and try small, manageable changes. She also uses EMDR and narrative and psychodynamic perspectives when those methods fit a person’s needs. This mix means sessions can include talking, looking at past patterns, and trying specific steps between meetings.
People often come for immediate relief from anxiety or depression, and for help making sense of relationship patterns and past hurts. Parinaz supports those goals by helping clients identify next steps and practice different ways of responding to stressful situations.
Practical matters such as scheduling and payment are handled through the site process. To begin, a reader completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session through the online options provided.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's perspective and priorities. It involves listening closely, reflecting back what matters, and helping someone choose goals that feel meaningful. This approach helps when a person is unsure what change would help most.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses clear steps and small experiments to test different ways of responding to stress or low mood. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and practical day-to-day problems.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method used to reduce distress linked to painful memories. It can be helpful for people who are dealing with trauma or longstanding upsetting events.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and decide with the client which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process means the plan can shift as needs change.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving, or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require video when that better suits someone's day.
