Yasaman Sherbaf

Yasaman Sherbaf is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Virginia who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, and big life transitions. She focuses on real problems parents and adults face, like low self-esteem, grief, relationship conflict, and feeling stuck. Sessions are practical and grounded so busy people can use what they learn right away.

She works in both English and Spanish to honor varied cultural backgrounds. The work is collaborative - clients set goals and Yasaman helps them move toward those goals step by step. That includes addressing communication problems, codependency, and issues linked to family of origin.

Yasaman draws on several evidence-informed methods to guide conversations and build coping skills. She supports people through substance use and addiction-related challenges, and helps with feelings of emptiness, guilt, or shame that often follow trauma and loss. Her approach also addresses career stress, anger, and intimacy-related concerns.

With three years of clinical experience, Yasaman emphasizes clear tools and small changes that add up. She helps people practice new ways of relating and handling difficult moments. The aim is to leave sessions with concrete steps to try between meetings.

People looking for support with coping with life changes, mood concerns like depression or bipolar symptoms, ADHD-related struggles, or compassion fatigue can expect a steady, practical approach. She encourages exploration of life purpose and rebuilding connection as part of healing.

How her approaches translate to online work

Yasaman commonly uses client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead to build trust and clarity, which helps when sorting through life changes. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety or depression. DBT offers techniques for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, which can help with anger, impulsivity, or addiction-related urges.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. She will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration may include trying different tools and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people access bilingual support in English and Spanish from a distance. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT skills to an online setting so clients practice techniques between meetings and track progress over time.
