About Haleh
Haleh Royanian is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Virginia with 25 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Persian. Her work includes support for parenting challenges, caregiver stress, immigration issues, and mood disorders.
She uses clear, practical conversation to help people name what is happening and try small changes. An approach based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets patterns that keep problems going and suggests concrete experiments to try between sessions.
Client-Centered Therapy guides the pace and focus of work from the person’s concerns. Mindfulness practices are used to build attention and reduce reactivity. Motivational Interviewing can help with making changes that matter and staying committed to those changes.
Haleh draws on multicultural awareness and long clinical experience when issues involve immigration, gender concerns, or family conflict. She works with people facing grief, separation, and long-term caregiving strain. Her style is direct and practical, with an emphasis on skills that can be used day to day.
Sessions are arranged through the site’s matching process. The first step is completing a short questionnaire and scheduling an initial meeting. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How ACT, CBT and Mindfulness fit into online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept into them. Online work using ACT can teach simple noticing skills and values-based steps to change how you respond. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns that maintain anger or anxiety and testing new behaviors with short experiments between sessions. Mindfulness-based practices strengthen attention and reduce reactivity by training brief, repeated exercises that can be practiced throughout the day.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to try methods that match goals and preferences. That may mean mixing ACT with CBT skills and brief mindfulness practices until a practical routine emerges.
The biography does not list session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into work breaks, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online meetings can also make it easier to practice skills between sessions and to bring real-life situations into conversation without promising specific formats.
