About Nelly

Dr. Nelly Gregorian-DeLeon is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 15 years of clinical experience and current licensure in California and North Carolina. She works with people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anxiety, parenting challenges, and stress. Her practice also notes work around codependency, abandonment, and family of origin issues.

She uses a mix of therapeutic styles to match what a person needs. Sessions are described as person-focused and practical. She draws on approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, existential ideas, hypnotherapy, Jungian concepts, and narrative work to address particular problems.

Clients who come with high-conflict relationships, histories of domestic or sexual violence, or childhood trauma will find experience relevant to those areas. She has worked with victims, survivors, and offenders in contexts involving domestic violence and sexual abuse, and she lists experience supporting people through grief and major life changes.

Her language skills include English, Armenian, and Persian, which she uses when helpful for communication. She accepts international clients and provides services from her North Carolina location in a way that fits different cultural backgrounds and life situations.

Her approach emphasizes clear conversation, practical coping skills, and examining patterns that keep someone stuck. In sessions she helps people identify small changes, try different behaviors, and consider deeper personal meaning when that is useful.

How sessions work

How her therapeutic approaches work for online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person in front of the therapist. It emphasizes listening, reflecting, and following the client’s lead to clarify what matters and what feels stuck. This approach can help when someone needs space to sort feelings about relationships or loss.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It offers concrete tools to test unhelpful thoughts, practice different responses, and reduce anxiety or depressive patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice, and personal responsibility. It can help people who feel empty, stuck, or unsure about life direction to name values and make decisions that fit those values.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. Many people try a mix of approaches and adjust as they go based on what helps.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how she delivers online work. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If you plan to work across time zones as an international client, discuss scheduling during the matching process to find what works.
