About Parinaz
Parinaz Fard-Aghaie is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with three years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression. Parinaz describes clients as the experts on their own stories and focuses on building from their strengths.
In sessions she listens to what matters most and helps people sort out next steps. She uses clear, conversational language and practical techniques rather than jargon. Conversations can cover how early family roles, attachment patterns, and expectations still affect choices and feelings today.
Parinaz draws from client-centered work to prioritize the client’s perspective. She also uses elements of cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Narrative and psychodynamic ideas are used when exploring how past experiences shape present reactions.
For those with trauma memories, she includes approaches that address painful events and their ongoing impact. The aim is to reduce symptoms that get in the way of daily life and relationships, not to rush anyone through difficult material.
People who contact her are often dealing with family of origin issues, attachment and codependency concerns, abandonment, separation or divorce, and related shame or guilt. Parinaz also supports people navigating immigration stress, financial worries, loneliness, and questions about purpose in midlife.
To begin, she asks about current struggles and priorities, then works collaboratively to set practical goals and manageable steps. Sessions focus on what someone can do between meetings as well as what happens inside them.
Therapeutic approaches and remote sessions
Parinaz frequently combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral methods. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own perspective and strengths, helping them clarify what matters and set goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at patterns of thought and action that maintain stress or anxiety and offers practical steps to change them.She also uses EMDR in cases where trauma memories are part of the picture. EMDR involves guided processing of distressing memories to reduce their emotional intensity and can be useful for people who continue to feel stuck after difficult events.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Parinaz will discuss options, listen to a client's goals and preferences, and recommend methods that fit their situation. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as needs evolve.
Please confirm current session options before booking, as the profile does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals often use these practical benefits to help maintain consistency with appointments and to support steady progress.
