About Naira
Naira Karapetyan is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) in California with 12 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with anger, stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life transitions. She also addresses relationship concerns, parenting strain, sleep problems, and career stress.
Naira keeps sessions straightforward. She listens to what is happening now, and points out patterns that feed anger and frustration. She offers clear tools from cognitive behavioral methods to change unhelpful thoughts and reactions. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at older patterns that keep repeating.
She uses solution-focused techniques to define small, reachable steps between sessions. Internal Family Systems ideas may be used to notice conflicting parts inside a person - for example the part that rages and the part that feels guilty afterwards. Treatment plans focus on practical changes that reduce snapping, resentment, and overwhelm in daily life.
Naira works with issues such as trauma and abuse, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, and post-traumatic stress. She also supports people coping with bipolar disorder, seasonal mood shifts, and attention differences when these affect relationships and functioning.
Sessions are offered in English and are held from her California practice. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online work
She commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change thoughts and behaviors that escalate anger. CBT focuses on skills you can practice between sessions to reduce reactivity and manage stress. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at long-standing patterns and early relationship themes that show up in how someone expresses anger.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. You and the therapist can adjust the plan over time based on what helps most with your day-to-day functioning and relationships.
The biography does not list specific online or phone formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Many people find virtual sessions useful because they fit around work, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can make it easier to keep momentum between appointments and to practice new skills in real-world routines.
