About Yasaman
Yasaman Sherbaf is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, grief, and life changes. Yasaman works with people who want clear, practical steps they can try between sessions.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when those approaches fit the concern. Sessions are conducted in English and Spanish to meet a wider range of cultural needs.
In practice she talks through patterns that keep problems repeating, then introduces concrete exercises. That can include breaking down stressful situations into manageable pieces, experimenting with small behavior changes, and learning basic emotion regulation skills. She outlines simple goals and checks progress over time.
Her work includes support for addiction and family-related issues, and she addresses feelings like guilt, shame, emptiness, and isolation. She also helps with career strain, anger, intimacy questions, and coping when major life events happen. Yasaman blends practical tools with discussion so people can try different responses and see what helps.
The first meetings focus on identifying immediate concerns and setting clear short-term goals. Follow-up sessions review what has been tried and adjust plans as needed. People who prefer sessions in Spanish can request that language for their appointments.
How Yasaman uses structured approaches and online sessions
Yasaman works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT is practical and aimed at breaking patterns that sustain anxiety, depression, and many stress-related problems.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely and reflect what matters most to the client. That approach focuses on the client's perspective and supports clearer personal goals. When emotional intensity or self-harm risk appears, she can incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach grounding, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation tools.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative task. She will discuss options, set short-term goals, and try methods that match the client's needs and preferences. Progress is checked and plans change based on what is helpful.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, require less travel, and allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited. Talk with her about scheduling, language choice, and the practical details that make sessions work alongside work and family commitments.
