About Sharareh
Sharareh Ghedari is a California-licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 28 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family conflict, coping with life changes, and coaching. She also supports people facing immigration-related and multicultural challenges, postpartum depression, and young adult issues.
She uses straightforward conversation to help people sort priorities and try new ways of handling stress. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking when anxiety or change feels overwhelming. Sharareh adapts what she does to each person rather than following one fixed plan.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns that keep problems going. Motivational Interviewing is used to clarify what matters most and to build momentum toward goals. Internal Family Systems helps people notice inner parts that influence behavior and relationships.
Sharareh has worked in California for many years and brings that experience to everyday concerns like starting a career, moving to a new place, or shifting roles at home. She speaks English and Persian, which can help in cross-cultural conversations about identity and immigration.
Getting started typically means answering a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted.
How her approaches guide online sessions
Sharareh uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach is useful for anxiety, stress, and practical problems such as study or work-related pressure. Motivational Interviewing is a short-term conversational method that helps someone clarify goals and build the internal drive to make changes. Internal Family Systems offers a way to identify different inner parts that affect emotions and relationships, which can be helpful when past roles or cultural expectations get in the way.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can shift as progress is made or new issues emerge, and she checks in regularly to keep the plan useful.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around school, early career hours, or childcare by removing travel time. Phone calls can be a shorter check-in when bandwidth or a quick break is needed, while video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when that helps. These practical benefits aim to make therapy fit everyday life rather than add to the schedule.
