About Parinaz

Parinaz Fard-Aghaie is a licensed mental health counselor who uses a narrative approach to help people untangle problems that feel overwhelming. She emphasizes a collaborative process and treats each person as the expert on their own life. Parinaz works with concerns like stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and low self-esteem.

She has three years of clinical experience practicing in Florida as an LMHC. Her work includes supporting people coping with depression, motivation and confidence challenges.

Background and approach

She also helps with issues tied to family of origin, isolation, forgiveness, and transitions like divorce or immigration stressors. Parinaz blends narrative ideas with client-centered listening and practical techniques from cognitive behavioral methods. She focuses on clear goals and small, manageable steps that can change daily patterns.

Sessions aim to make sense of past experiences and to identify new storylines that support better choices now. EMDR and psychodynamic perspectives inform her attention to trauma and deeper emotional patterns when those approaches fit a client's needs. Parinaz also uses solution-focused strategies when people want brief, goal-directed work.

The tone in sessions is respectful, grounded, and focused on building the client’s own strengths. People who come to her can expect straightforward conversation, gentle challenge, and concrete suggestions they can try between sessions. She supports adults through practical problem solving and meaning-making as they work toward clearer values and healthier habits.

How Narrative and Practical Therapies Work Online

Parinaz commonly uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe life events and understand how stories shape feelings and behavior. Narrative work focuses on separating the person from the problem and finding new ways to tell important parts of life, which can reduce shame and open choices.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which begins with careful listening and reflection to help people feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try concrete behavioral experiments that change daily routines.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to focus on story work, skills practice, trauma-focused strategies, or a mix of methods that fits the person's needs.

Online therapy with Parinaz is offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or the client prefers not to be on camera. Messaging or live chat supports quick check-ins, short exercises, and flexible scheduling that can fit around work or caregiving duties.
