About
About Parinaz
Parinaz Fard-Aghaie is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with three years of clinical experience. She works with people who are managing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Parinaz emphasizes the client's own knowledge of their life while offering professional support.
She respects that most people already carry strengths and resources. In sessions she listens for those strengths and helps make them more useful when life feels overwhelming. She helps clients name what no longer serves them and take small, practical steps toward change.
Parinaz uses several therapeutic approaches depending on what feels right for the person. She draws on client-centered methods to prioritize the client's perspective. She may use cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and shift unhelpful thinking patterns, and she can incorporate EMDR when trauma memories are a central concern.
Her work also includes narrative and psychodynamic ideas to help people understand patterns that repeat across relationships. Topics she has addressed include abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, commitment concerns, divorce and separation, domestic violence, family of origin problems, guilt and shame, and isolation. She has also supported people with immigration-related stress, money worries, and midlife questions.
Sessions focus on clear, practical steps and on building skills that can be used outside the therapy hour. To begin, people choose an online matching process and schedule a first session where goals and next steps are discussed.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Parinaz uses client-centered therapy, which means sessions focus on the person's perspective and priorities. That approach helps when someone needs a respectful place to make sense of their choices and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides concrete tools to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be practiced between sessions and tracked online. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) can be used when past traumatic memories keep causing distress; it aims to reduce the emotional charge of those memories so daily life feels less interrupted.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options and make decisions with each client, matching methods to goals, comfort level, and the issues presented. The selection of techniques is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets a person use CBT exercises, journaling prompts, and EMDR planning between appointments so the work continues outside the session.
