About Yas
Yas Farrokhseresht is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of experience working with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and mood disorders. She also helps people facing attachment problems, abandonment wounds, and challenges tied to cultural background. Yas speaks English and Persian and draws on long practice to support people navigating major life changes.
She uses well-established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people clarify what matters and make small, practical changes. Sessions often focus on improving communication, managing mood swings, and developing coping skills for anxiety and trauma. Yas pays attention to how relationships and past experiences shape current behavior.
Many clients she sees are young adults dealing with leaving home, work stress, study pressure, money worries, and relationship shifts. She offers direct practical strategies for handling overwhelm, reducing isolation, and improving day-to-day functioning. Conversations aim to translate insight into concrete steps.
In sessions she works on emotion regulation, problem-solving, and communication skills. She also addresses issues such as impulsivity, guilt and shame, and the after-effects of domestic violence or divorce. Her approach balances short-term problem work with deeper attention to patterns that repeat over time.
Yas encourages people to consider cultural context and identity when discussing difficulties. If you prefer to work in English or Persian, mention that when you begin. For current session formats, please confirm options before booking.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Yas draws on established, evidence-based techniques to address anxiety, mood disorders, and relationship patterns. One common approach focuses on emotion regulation skills to reduce intense mood swings and impulsivity; it teaches concrete steps for calming the body and shifting unhelpful reactions. Another approach targets communication and interpersonal patterns, helping people notice interaction habits and practice clearer, more effective ways to express needs and set boundaries.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss what feels most useful, try methods that match your goals, and adjust based on what helps. The process is collaborative, with practical homework and short-term goals when that fits your needs.
For session logistics, please confirm the current online options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around study or work, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during life transitions. Some formats can be shorter for quick problem checks, while others support full counseling sessions; pick what fits your routine and comfort level.
