About Parinaz
Parinaz Fard-Aghaie is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with three years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression. She also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, codependency, and feelings of isolation.
Parinaz uses a collaborative, person-focused style that starts by listening to each client's story. She treats the person, not just a symptom, and helps people identify strengths they already have. Sessions are practical and aim to build small, manageable skills that can be used between meetings.
Her clinical approach draws on several methods including client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques. Those methods can help with unhelpful thoughts, nervousness in social settings, and habits that interfere with daily life. She also incorporates narrative and psychodynamic ideas when exploring how past experiences shape current feelings.
For people who have experienced trauma, Parinaz includes approaches designed to address painful memories while focusing on emotional safety and stabilization. EMDR is part of her toolkit and may be used alongside other approaches when appropriate.
Her sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. She helps clients set clear, realistic steps and tracks progress over time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the practice's online process.
Approaches for online work and how they help
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective and building a working relationship where the client's priorities guide the work. This approach helps when someone needs time to talk through worries and decide what change feels right. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and uses short, practical exercises to test and shift unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for reducing anxious thinking and improving confidence in social situations.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss options with the client and together decide which methods fit best based on current concerns, goals, and preferences. That decision can change over time as progress and needs evolve.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, sessions that avoid travel time, or options that reduce the need to be on camera. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques like thought records, exposure exercises, and memory-focused work to an online setting so practical skills can be practiced between sessions.
