About Sheida
Sheida is certified in EMDR, a trauma-focused therapy that helps people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact. Her clinical experience spans depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, stress, mood and personality disorders, self-esteem and identity development, career transitions, and divorce. She brings a client-centered, integrative style that draws from evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused and Narrative therapies, Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness practices.
Committed to cultural humility and sensitivity, Sheida aims to create an inclusive space where clients from diverse backgrounds feel respected and understood. She collaborates with each person to tailor treatment plans that align with their experiences, values, and goals, offering compassionate, curious support for healing, growth, and more meaningful relationships.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Sheida uses client-centered therapy to create a collaborative, respectful relationship in which the client's experience guides treatment. This approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and working at the client's pace to address concerns like relationship challenges, identity development, and self-esteem issues.
Sheida also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to manage symptoms of anxiety and depression. In addition, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for impulsivity, intense emotions, and relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sheida collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals and therapists can deliver these approaches effectively in remote formats.
Online therapy with Sheida is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for scheduling and access from different locations. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity of care during transitions, and connect with therapeutic support in a way that suits individual routines and comfort levels.
