About Parinaz
Parinaz Fard-Aghaie is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and struggles with self-esteem and depression. Parinaz emphasizes each person's existing strengths and works alongside them as they pursue change.
She practices in a way that centers the person's own story. Sessions aim to clarify what matters to the client and build practical steps toward goals. Parinaz uses a mix of approaches to match the work to the problem, rather than relying on a single method.
Clients might expect conversational, down-to-earth sessions that balance emotional support with concrete tools. Parinaz can help people untangle patterns linked to attachment, codependency, commitment fears, or family-of-origin issues. She also addresses life transitions such as divorce, separation, immigration challenges, and midlife questions.
Money and financial issues are listed among her focus areas, and she can help clients understand how money concerns connect to stress, relationships, and self-worth. Common themes she addresses include isolation, guilt and shame, forgiveness, and finding a clearer life purpose.
Her approach draws on client-centered work plus techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative and psychodynamic therapies, and EMDR when trauma work is needed. Parinaz supports people step by step as they try new ways of relating to themselves and others.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. The therapist creates space for clients to tell their story and helps them notice strengths and choices that can move things forward.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It uses simple, practical exercises to try out new ways of thinking and acting, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach used to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity. It can be helpful when past events continue to affect daily life and relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and past experiences to decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made when something does not fit.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, cut down travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. It can also let clients choose ways of working that feel most comfortable, such as focusing on skills practice, trauma processing, or exploring personal history.
