About Parinaz
Parinaz Fard-Aghaie is a Florida LMHC with three years of professional experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression. Parinaz also lists focus areas such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, commitment issues, forgiveness, and guilt and shame.
She frames therapy around the client's own story and strengths. Sessions tend to begin with listening to what matters most to the person. From there she and the client identify small, practical steps to reduce distress and build clearer choices.
Parinaz draws on several approaches to fit each person's needs. Client-Centered Therapy guides sessions around the person's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. EMDR is included among her tools for addressing trauma-related memories.
Her background includes supporting people who face family of origin problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, immigration stress, loneliness, and money or life-purpose struggles. She helps people name the patterns that feel stuck and try different ways of responding.
Sessions are collaborative and direct. Parinaz aims to help clients increase day-to-day coping and clarify values and goals. People often work on changing unhelpful thinking, processing hard memories, and making concrete behavioral shifts.
If someone is seeking a clinician in Florida who addresses guilt and shame alongside relationship and trauma-related concerns, Parinaz is listed with those focus areas and uses the approaches above.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the person's priorities in session. The therapist listens closely and supports the person to name goals and make choices that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and helps people test and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to help process disturbing memories that continue to cause strong distress, often in the context of trauma.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss which methods may match the person's needs, goals, and comfort. Decisions about techniques are made collaboratively and can change as progress is made.
The practical aim of online sessions is to fit therapy into everyday life. Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to schedule appointments around work or family commitments, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a quick visit is helpful. In conversation, therapists and clients also choose whether to focus more on talking-based interventions like CBT and narrative work, or on trauma-focused techniques such as EMDR, based on what the person wants to address.
