About Yasaman
Yasaman Sherbaf is a licensed professional counselor in Virginia who helps people facing anger, stress, anxiety, and problems with addiction. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to make conversations straightforward and useful. Her style centers on listening and helping clients find practical ways to cope and move forward.
She focuses on everyday struggles like low self-esteem, relationship friction, and feeling isolated. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, career setbacks, and major life changes.
Background and approach
Anger and intimacy-related concerns are part of the issues she addresses in sessions. In her work she uses a mix of accepted therapeutic methods that match each person’s needs. Sessions often involve identifying unhelpful thought patterns, building emotional skills, and practicing new ways of responding.
The emphasis is on small, manageable steps rather than sudden fixes. Yasaman draws on experience with family of origin issues, communication problems, and substance use challenges to tailor the process for each person. She helps clients examine control issues, codependency, and patterns that keep them stuck.
Motivation and values are woven into goal setting and progress checks. Her three years of clinical experience is paired with a collaborative approach. Clients co-create the plan, decide the pace, and track what helps.
Practical tools, mindfulness practices, and clear feedback are commonly used to support lasting change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Yasaman often uses client-centered therapy, which means sessions start with listening and building goals the client chooses. This approach helps people feel heard and keeps therapy focused on what matters to them.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a practical method that looks at thoughts and behaviors that maintain problems. CBT helps with anxiety, depression, anger, and habits related to substance use by teaching skills to change thinking and routine responses.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit, and adjust based on what helps. Decisions about techniques are collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which let people choose what fits their schedule and needs. Video sessions support face-to-face conversation, phone is useful when bandwidth or movement is limited, live chat allows quick check-ins, and messaging works for short reflections or ongoing support between sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family, and daily life.
