About Yasaman
Yasaman Sherbaf is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, career questions, bipolar disorder, depression, and life changes.
She focuses on real-life problems like trouble saying no, people-pleasing, and living with someone else’s moods or substance use. Sessions are conversational and goal oriented. She listens for patterns that leave someone worn out or stuck, then helps identify small, practical steps to try between meetings.
Yasaman draws from client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral tools to help people notice unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep problems going. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to teach emotion regulation and grounding skills.
Her work pays attention to family background, culture, and the ways abandonment, guilt, or shame shape relationships. She offers therapy in English and Spanish and accepts international clients, which can help when cultural context matters.
People who come to her often want clearer boundaries, steadier moods, or help stepping out of old patterns like codependency or addiction. The first sessions focus on what the person most wants to change and on making a plan that fits their daily life.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a shared plan. It helps people name what matters most and set practical goals for change. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches step-by-step skills to shift them. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers concrete emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills that many people find useful when moods are intense or relationships feel unstable.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their situation and goals. That collaborative choice can change as progress is made and new challenges come up.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by cutting commute time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or avoiding the need to be on camera when that helps. Working remotely also makes it possible to continue therapy when location or travel would otherwise interrupt momentum.
