About Yasaman

Yasaman Sherbaf is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, and changes in relationships. She speaks English and Spanish. Her style is straightforward and collaborative, aimed at helping clients find clearer direction and stronger coping skills.

Yasaman uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She draws on existential ideas to address meaning and purpose, and uses client-centered techniques to keep the work focused on the person's goals.

Background and approach

She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to manage intense emotions. In sessions she helps people talk through family history, codependency, and communication problems. She also supports those working through grief, trauma, shame, or feelings of emptiness.

Addiction and substance use concerns are another area she addresses alongside anger and impulse issues. Her background includes work with career questions, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. She pays attention to veteran and armed forces issues when they come up and helps people cope with ADHD, bipolar disorder, and depression as part of broader treatment plans.

Yasaman encourages practical steps between sessions, like small behavior changes or mindfulness practices. She aims to make therapy a place to test new ways of coping and build toward clearer values and purpose.

Online support

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Yasaman often blends existential therapy and client-centered methods in online work. Existential therapy focuses on questions of meaning, purpose, and choices; it helps people facing emptiness, life transitions, or struggles with identity. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and following the client's lead to build trust and clarity during conversations. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques online to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. These tools can help with anxiety, depression, and patterns that feed addiction or codependency. Together these approaches give both exploration of deeper life questions and practical skills to manage daily problems. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. She collaborates with each person to decide what feels most helpful based on goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying different strategies and adjusting over time so the work stays relevant and useful. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for longer sessions that benefit from visual cues. Phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging can support brief check-ins, skill practice, or ongoing coaching between longer appointments, offering flexibility for different schedules.
