About Zhanna

Zhanna Cohen began her professional journey in Florida, where she obtained her mental health license in 2013. She brings a compassionate, respectful approach to working with individuals, families, and adolescents who face a wide range of challenges, including life transitions, career and relationship concerns, gender dysphoria, adoption and foster care issues, family of origin dynamics, depression, and self-esteem struggles. Zhanna emphasizes sensitivity and individualized care, shaping conversations and treatment plans to reflect each person’s specific circumstances and goals.

As an LMHC and an LPC - which are licenses indicating she is a licensed mental health counselor and a licensed professional counselor - Zhanna applies evidence-informed methods to support clients through periods of change and growth. She values the courage it takes to seek greater fulfillment and recognizes each step toward change as meaningful. Zhanna partners with clients to empower them in making lasting improvements, offering steady support and practical guidance throughout the therapeutic process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Zhanna draws from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to guide her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic space where the client’s goals and experience shape the work; it helps people explore identity, relationships, and life changes at their own pace. CBT offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be especially useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Zhanna works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best for their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors methods rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Zhanna is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity when schedules change, and connect from different locations while working with licensed professionals who guide the process thoughtfully.
