About Yasaman
Yasaman Sherbaf is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, and relationship struggles. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to make therapy approachable for people feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Her focus includes codependency, self-esteem, grief, trauma, and life changes.
She uses a collaborative style in sessions, meeting each person where they are. Conversations are practical and direct. Yasaman supports clients in naming difficult feelings and testing small changes that fit daily life.
Her work draws on several evidence-informed approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's own goals and values.
Yasaman also weaves mindfulness and existential ideas into sessions when useful. Mindfulness helps ground people in the present. Existential perspectives invite reflection about meaning, purpose, and choices.
With three years of clinical experience, she offers support for a wide range of concerns, including substance-related issues, anger, career transitions, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. The practice aims to build coping tools, clearer communication, and more stable emotional footing.
To begin, clients can expect a straightforward intake process and a focus on workable steps. Sessions are conducted in English or Spanish and tailored to each person’s pace and priorities.
How Yasaman’s approaches translate to online therapy
Yasaman uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize each person’s goals and values, creating space for them to lead the work and set the pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thought patterns and changing behaviors that keep problems going, which is helpful for anxiety, mood, and codependency issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication in stressful moments.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. That choice can shift over time as goals change, and the work is adjusted in session to what feels useful.
Confirm current session options before booking to know which online formats are available. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit more easily into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins, and remove travel time. Online sessions can make it simpler to maintain momentum while learning new skills and testing changes in everyday life.
