Parinaz Fard-Aghaie is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with three years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and symptoms of depression, and brings focused attention to related concerns such as attachment and abandonment, codependency, divorce and separation, and family of origin issues.

Parinaz emphasizes a collaborative, strengths-based approach that recognizes each person as the expert of their own story. She helps clients identify internal resources and build practical skills to manage difficult emotions, restore connection in relationships, and pursue clearer goals and life purpose. Her practice also addresses practical life stressors including money and immigration issues, as well as feelings of isolation or guilt and shame.

Seeking change takes courage, and Parinaz aims to support and empower people through that process. She combines clinical training with a respectful, empathetic stance to help clients take meaningful steps toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Approaches That Guide Online Care

Parinaz integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and EMDR into her work to meet a range of needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the client’s experience and goals lead the process - it is well suited for people seeking emotional support, confidence building, and clearer life direction. CBT offers structured tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and improve day-to-day functioning. EMDR is a trauma-focused approach that works with recalled memories and related reactions to help reduce the intensity of trauma-related symptoms and support recovery.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Parinaz works with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts interventions as progress unfolds. Clients are encouraged to share feedback so the plan evolves in partnership.

Online therapy with Parinaz is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, family, or geographic constraints, and allow people to engage in therapy in ways that feel most comfortable and convenient for them.
